The year is galloping to a close, and it’s sure been an interesting one for CrossRoad. We’ve spent most of the year recording and mixing our new album, which is due to be released in January 2018. And in between we’ve been out and about sharing our old music, and having a great time doing […]
October has been a heck of a busy month for us! Nigel Methodist Church fete First off we were back at Nigel Methodist for the church fete. A great morning – great food, great people! We were lucky enough to play close to 30 songs, and we even got to try out some of […]
Spring has sprung, and God is as faithful as He was yesterday. St Ninian’s We started the season with a trip to St Ninian’s for the second time this year. We played our Rock of Ages album there in January, and had such a great visit that we booked a second visit soon after. […]
August is just about done, and we’ve been out and about with our music as usual. The early mornings weren’t so easy, with the icy August winds, but we brave it because we love what we do! Still, we’re grateful for small gifts like beanies and gloves and scarves. God is good. We are privileged. […]
Well, we’ve been back from our USA trip for just over 3 months! I can hardly believe it – it seems like we were sitting in Doug’s kitchen just yesterday. But somehow it also seems like a lifetime ago. Strange. What an experience it was! We’ve been reflecting and talking about it week after week […]
Well – we’re home! After delayed flights, long layovers, and lots of laughs, we’re back in beautiful South Africa. But let me tell you about the second half of our stay in the USA. Wilson’s Creek With Doug busy at work we were left in the hands of our new friend Larry, and he took […]
Well it’s Sunday night, and we’ve been in the USA for a whole week. And it has been a fantastic experience so far! As most of you know, we recorded Hammer No More, and got in touch with Doug Ray the writer who lives in Springfield, Missouri. He ended up inviting us over to spend […]
Well we’ve been in the wars again – sliced and stitched up hands and throat infections being the main injuries! We had to cancel our service at Emseni – so disappointing – because on the Thursday I developed a throat infection and was in bed for days. No singing for me that weekend. But I […]
Coming home on the Gautrain earlier in January, I got stuck into Psalm 63, slowly reading and praying over each verse. And I spent a whole bunch of time reflecting and pondering the first verse: “You God are my God, earnestly I seek You.” This is what I wrote in my journal: “May this be […]
Our carols season 2016 has been, well… unusual. Rain, no rain, and falling trees… It’s been dramatic, that’s for sure. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Primrose Methodist December began with a morning spent at Primrose Methodist Church. We were essentially CrossRoad Lite – no lead guitar, with Rich unfortunately not able to join is. […]
