Update

Gosh its been a while!!!

Easter to be exact, now quite alot has happened since then!

Including alot of trips to wales, obv working every day, and drumming at many many differnt places!

I had the honor of being a part of the revival that broke out in Dudley, and drummed there at the end of July for the weekend, and am infact going back to drum again at the start of October.

Various cool events with THRE3, including Marks Tey (poss my fav gig yet) where everyone was just going for it,
and also the Tiptree Youth Fair, which was just fun! playing Rain Down to the people of Tiptree : )
We also played in Germany (as im SURE most of you will have heard about by now)
which was just an unreal weekend, and then again at the opening of the CO1 event.

I have always enjoyed drumming, its like a differnt side of me that comes out just for an hour, but the last few gigs have been something else, letting go of literaly everything (excpet my sticks) and being able to lay into my drum kit, no matter whats happened that day, who is watching, whateva the tech problems have been, ive lost all self awareness, which for me is a very hard thing to go of. We have played to various differnt crowds, both large and small, at the CO1 gig, there maybe wasnt as many people as we were hoping for, and because of this, we decided we wouldnt change into our 'gig clothes'.
But during a bit of worship before, i could see Jason was really thinking about this, and it was playing with my mind too, why would we not give our 100% all to God because of a few people not turing up? it made no sense what so ever. And so we both agreed, we would get changed because we wernt there to play to these people anyway. People always say "well your playing to an audience of ONE" which when your playing to a smaller crowd, starts to really make sense. So, as we always seem to do now, just totally went for it. and gave God all 110% that he deserved.

Oh, and ive bought a new China cymbal!! 20"!
my goodness is that a bad boy sound : )

The next 2 and a half months sees no free weekends, including more trips to Wales & Dudley, various worship events, and also hopefully meeting my cousin for the first time : )

Easter!!

Well, its easter afternoon, and there is snow falling and snow men being created!

quite odd really...

Well support for THRE3 is now becomeing very strong, its very strange, people who don't actually know you telling you to "keep up the good work" and stuff!
As a band we are becoming quite close off stage which in turn is meaning we are getting better and better on stage, its a nice progression.
We played at a gig called Genex with collective, last saturday, and everyone there was so up for it, was a great night, and (thanks to mark and simon) we got some fantastic live photos out of it.
We are now coming up with more ideas for live sets and planning stuff that we might want to see happening in a worship time, which is very cool, its kinda at the stage where, ok we have led good worship, now we wanna take it a bit further, and really get into seeing God doing amazing amazing things with his people.

We had our first studio photoshoot yesterday! very funny, but some good results, i seem to be able to do the moody look pretty well...

Things to come:
We are leading worship at Clacton Elim in a few weeks, which im looking forward to, they are a great bunch of people and really love worshiping God.

More writing/recording will be happening, and finally getting our EP done!

here comes the photos! (of which more can be found on facebook:

Feb / March

Well things are really really starting to happen!!

As Jason says as a joke after every gig..."another gig, another booking"
But it really feels like that! We (THRE3) are being booked up for all kinds of projects and events all over the place, its totally mental!
Here are some pics of our travels....





The pics are:
saturday night project
hope accademy
feb xalt
cyo open evening with collective

On top of all that, we are now getting down and writing, what i feel are some top quality tunes. Songs like Cant Wait and Greatness Astounds, so full of passion and feeling. Greatness Astounds is prob my fav. you can hear them on the THRE3 facebook music page.

As Arthur Blessitt so rightly put it on Sunday night....one step at a time : )

End of Jan

Almost the end of January!

And i finally got a job! starts on the 4th of Feb, very happy bout that!

2 nights ago was Xalt, in which THRE3 led the worship, and it was good!
