Our band Metanoia have new merch out!

Well @thebassplayer.bsky.social says she won’t do an acoustic version of Right Said Fred’s I’m Too Sexy with @robbandruth.bsky.social. What a killjoy.

We’re halfway through a full day mixing our upcoming EP, “Stronghold”. We’re really close to release!

We’ve been on a little trip out. It seems we’ve accidentally started booking gigs as an acoustic duo covering songs from the 50s to now - anything we love where we can sing excessive harmonies.

As is usually the case, we went shopping for Ruth and came back with something for Robb.

I think we can make this happen 🤣

#TaizeNorth25 is finished and our pilgrimage is over. Looking forward to next year!

Perhaps in the morning we’ll share the video of Ruth jamming delta blues with @archbishopofyork.org before the service started.

One of the best things about Taizè is the amazing light. And it really put on a show for our eucharist with Archbishop Stephen Diocese of York Diocese of Leeds, Church of England #TaizeNorth25

We have arrived at #TaizeNorth25 and we’re looking forward to leading the music for @archbishopofyork.org this afternoon. We felt a spot of rain during rehearsal this morning 😁

Tonight we are playing at @holynativity.bsky.social! We’d love to see you!

It’s the final morning of the Songwriting retreat. Such an intense week of music, worship, prayer and fellowship. We have met with friends from near and far. We are going home refreshed.

Songwriting retreat day three! We think we just heard a bass solo in this morning’s rehearsal.

Several flying saucer sherbet sweets on a pavement. Most are crushed and some have split, scattering sherbet around them.

Fresh UFO crash site from the school run today. I hope everyone got out okay.

This is the joy of locally produced songs for the local church. We can embrace the gifts we have within the community and write music that reflects the common life we hold together.

Chris is talking about the role of music in building community.

Miss you.

We have arrived at Wydale for the @resoundworship.org songwriting retreat. Looking forward to a week of writing!

Mike has come to record keyboard parts for the EP. Everything is coming together!

Sadly the print run of our songbook “Stronghold”arrived damaged last week. We should be getting a reprint next week. Those of you who have messaged us at @onfiremission.bsky.social conference will be contacted the instant they are here!

Home safe and sound from a wonderful time at @onfiremission.bsky.social. We had a minor sojourn at Rishworth Moor waiting for the AA but we’re home!

We’ve abandoned ship for an hour off. This crepe is very crepe. Much crepeness. All of the crepe.

#OFMonsite2025

This is really good news. At the new songs workshop yesterday people were asking for the sheet music!

We had a print run of sheet music books ordered so that people at @onfiremission.bsky.social could buy a copy. A delay in printing means that they didn’t arrive in time. We’ve just found out that they’ll be delivered to Yarnfield by 10:30am tomorrow. #OFMonsite2025
