About Me





If you'd like the latest on what the band has been up to, please sign up to our mailing list by entering your e-mail address in the box below and hitting 'Subscribe': brother john 's vision is and has always been to take the Good News about Jesus Christ to as many people as possible.
Nearly seven years have passed, and brother john has intensively gigged Somerset and beyond . Our resources are ever expanding in step with God's abundant blessing, and a debut album is in the pipeline (!!!) following the successful release of the EP 'Sing for the Light' way back in 2003.

Watch this space, but most importantly, rock on with the God song...
