John Gerighty: News

Just to confirm, the release of "No Room at the Inn" - my new Christmas album - is set for Monday 23rd November.
Although it is not available on iTunes as yet, you can get hold of a CD through the post - email me for details: johngerighty@yahoo.com
The RRP of "No Room.." (UK) is £11 plus postage. I am also hoping that some Christian Bookshops will be stocking the recording.
It would make a wonderful stocking filler!

"No Room at the Inn" - the new album - was completed earlier this week, to the delight and relief of both myself and recording engineer Dan Mepham.
This CD has been a labour of love, having taken almost three years to record; "No Room.." features themes which both anticipate and celebrate the Nativity. Original pieces that I have written sit alongside traditional Carols, in an attempt to take us through the Christmas story, albeit with instrumental music.
If you are interested in buying a copy on CD, send me an email to johngerighty@yahoo.com, and I will tell you how to order direct. Release date for the album is Monday 23rd November.

Three tracks from the forthcoming "No Room at the Inn" recording have been included on an album which has recently been released in the United States.
"Peaceful Christmas" is produced by Classic Fox Records, and includes my versions of "God rest ye merry gentlemen", "Away in a manger" and "Ding dong merrily on high". there are also two Simeon and John tracks, and the music should be available for download via iTunes in November.
However, as a CD, "Peaceful Christmas" is part of a 3 CD set, which is only available in the States.

Recording of the "No Room at the Inn" album is well under way.
"No Room.." consists of a collection of Christmas music, some original, and some well-known.

We are hoping for a November release. Watch this space...

I have an exciting concert in November - I am playing Vivaldi's popular Guitar Concerto in D, with the Rossi String Quartet.
The venue is Flixton House, near Manchester and it's happening on Sunday afternoon, 22nd November.
I will be playing a mix of classical guitar music, and some of my own original material, in addition to the concerto, and the quartet will also be playing a piece from their own repertoire.
Tickets are priced at £7.50 (Concessions, £6); see the calendar for details and/or phone 07866 766114

From 16th July until 3rd August, I will be in Canterbury, at the Lambeth Conference.

This is the event where all the bishops (or most of them) of the worldwide anglican church meet together. It happens once every ten years, and I was at the last one too, in 1998!

I will be part of the music team, helping out with worship throughout the conference.

Should be a fantastic experience!

I have started a Blog, called "Plucking Nylon".

I plan to contribute regularly.

Next Sunday (16th March) I will be taking my concert / presentation "The Passion" around churches in the Derbyshire area.

This concert describes the days leading up to Good Friday in the Bible.

There is music, songs, and multi-media involved. We are excited!
