Stuart Townend is setting off today on an eight-day tour of Northern Ireland and Eire. Stuart is known and respected around the world as one of the leading worship songwriters of his generation.
Stuart is known and respected around the world as one of the leading worship songwriters of his generation. The depth of lyrical and theological content in songs such as In Christ alone, How deep the Father’s love, The power of the cross and Beautiful Saviour have caused some to draw comparisons with the greats of previous generations such as Watts and Wesley; while the marriage of great lyrics with wonderfully accessible melodies (largely through his successful writing partnership with Keith Getty) means his songs bridge different musical and cultural genres, and reach into every corner of the globe.
The tour comes hot on the heals of the release of his new album, The Journey. The songs feel mellow but fresh and offer a very practical reminder of what it means to live simply.
Townend has a reputation as one of the best live worship leaders and, accompanied by his band of top notch musicians, each set promises to be special.
The venues are:
Omagh -16 September
Londonderry – 17 September
Coleraine – 18 September
Armagh – 19 September
Kilkeen – 20 September
Bangor Co Down – 22 September
Belfast – 23 September
