Welcome. The weekly Vigils are a worship time for musicians. It's intended to be a time free from the normal constraints of ministering to a congregation. A time to extemporise, as the Holy Spirit leads, in personal worship, thanksgiving, and adoration towards God. These are live recordings, mixed into tracks - often a new song is being made up on-the-fly.
Time constraints for maintaining this site, have forced the adoption a mininalist approach. If you are having problems with Playlist files there is an item at the bottom of the list explaining how they can be used to download the files.

| King's College Chapel Friday 13th November, 2009. |
on Friday 13th Nov 2009
Musicians: Robin Mason: Cello John Montgomery ( Guitar, Vocals & Synths Jim Rankin (Sax.). A flying visit from Robin - a celloist - who played for a couple of numbers. Most of the stuff is song ideas made up on the fly. I hope during Christams break to use them to write so more formal versions. The new recorder, and its requirement for remixing is making things slower. I may only put up a couple of songs per week rather tan the full set. Another idea is to put up a CD image, and instructions on how to make an audio CD with it. |
