SOUND CHECK
ONE OF THE BEST‘ LIVE’ WORSHIP BANDS EVER?
I have a personal history with the band Delirious? I was thrilled to be on the side of the stage at the Creation Festival when this young band from Littlehampton, West Sussex U. K. hit the stage in front of 50,000 Christian music fans. This was the start of the worship music genre’ s own British invasion.
I was honored with the task of promoting three different Delirious? Tours through the Northwest and saw the effect modern worship had on the faithful in attendance at their concerts.
What made the difference to me was that the band … consisting of Martin Smith( vocals / rhythm guitar), Stu G( lead guitar), Jon Thatcher( bass) Tim Jupp( keyboards) and Stewart Smith( drums) were just that... they were a very tight band. Martin may feel the Holy Spirit was
moving in a certain direction and the band would pivot with that leaning seamlessly. It was quite a worship experience for everyone in the concert hall. Those were some amazing nights.
The band won Dove Awards, were nominated for a Grammy and sold Gold records, but more than that they won over the hearts of their fans. Many of today’ s modern worship leaders( and we have interviewed quite a lot of them over the years in our [ WM ] Worship Musician magazine) will point back to one of their main musical and spiritual influences to the pioneering band Delirious?
“ Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble”,“ I Can Sing of Your Love Forever”,“ Deeper” and“ What a Friend I’ ve Found” are just a few of their impactful songs.
With this in mind, we welcome Martin Smith back on the cover of our magazine. He always has pertinent things to say to us. We are grateful for his friendship to us personally and his giving of his time for you, our readers … to help us all become # BetterBySunday! To help us all go“ Deeper.”
Lord Bless You as You Follow Him,
