Delirious Tour

After 11 nights, over a thousand miles travelled up and down the motorways of England, numerous flights and hotel rooms; our part of the Delirious Tour is finally over. It’s been an absolute blast. Looking back the opening night at Southampton seems an age ago. It’s been quite a journey. Many lessons learned and lots of fun had by all.
It’s been a great challenge for me. Being used to leading worship in churches and conferences it felt a bit daunting stepping out in venues such as Manchester Apollo, the Glasgow Carling Academy and the Belfast Waterfront. To be honest I wasn’t too sure how people would respond. However I’ve been overwhelmed to see so many join with us to lift up the name above all names.
Highlights? Well there have been many. I’ve been humbled and encouraged by the passion and willingness of people to enter into worship. There is nothing more exciting than seeing venues packed with people caught up in the greatness of our awesome God. At times I’ve felt like I was going to explode at the deafening cheer and response of worship.
It’s been great fun hanging out with the Delirious? boys. I’ve learnt how to box and eaten lots of curry. I’ve enjoyed 9 Stu G thoughts for the day, (gold dust!) and for 11 nights listened into Martin Smith’s vocal warm-ups. Very impressive!
It’s been an honour to join with many of you on this journey. On behalf of myself and my band (Paul Evans, Mark Prentice, Dan Wheeler and Steve Harding), thank you for holding nothing back and giving your all in worship.

Went to Maidstone gig on Monday - fantastic fun. I'm nearly 40 but was down bouncing with the sweaty teenagers at the front! Was really chuffed that Tim did Happy Day as after hearing it on the worshipcentral podcast, I'd taught it to my church the previous morning and to some 60 Medway church musicians at our Worship Jam the night before that.
Lots of the youngsters who went to the Jam were there on Monday and they took off in the first O Happy Day chorus!
Got to meet Rachel at the CD desk too. Charming!
I remember touring with Don Fransisco many years ago, eating curry and drumming at venues which were way beyond my experience (Hammersmith Odeon was the biggest). Mostly though, I remember the amazing feeling of finding large crowds, hungry to join together in powerful, heartfelt worship. The Lord's still pulling them in!!
Anyway, enough waffle - I was well chuffed that Tim was on the bill and the whole evening was encouraging and enormous fun.

PS, Tim, do you know what software Delirious used to author and display their stunning in-show presentations?

03Nov06Hey Tim, I went to the delirious gig in southampton and after many wonderful days at soul survivor in the big tent with your worship i was wondering how your style would change. I was so glad that it didn't and you just kept the focus on God. My aunt went and me and her were really blessed by the holy spirit. Keep praising God
