“Very beautiful music……I can thoroughly recommend this album (Water & Light)” Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
"Water & Light may well be one of the most perfect singer-songwriter albums that you will hear this year, or indeed any year." Mike Wilson - Folking.com
“…..intelligent songs which make a point gently and invoke sympathy……..someone to be taken quite seriously”." fROOTS
“Some artists often sing in the name of one cause or another without conviction, but that is not the case here. The legacy of well-written, descriptive music laid down by Woody Guthrie, still lives on here in the UK” Maverick (5 Stars)
“It’s really refreshing to hear a quality songwriter like Gareth Davies-Jones, who has something to say and says it without fuss. Moving writing … all round class musicianship.” Karine Polwart
“Gareth is a fresh new voice … real songs with some real things to say, in a melodic and entertaining way. He’s a fine addition to the troubadour tradition.” Jez Lowe
“Gareth Davies-Jones - currently one of the UK’s best-kept musical secrets…… powerful songs and affecting performances” Properganda

House groups are small informal groups that meet weekly or fortnightly, usually in people’s homes. A typical meeting would include worship, bible study and discussion, a chance to share your news, and the opportunity to pray together.
There are groups on Thursday morning (babies, toddlers and people of all ages welcome), Monday evening, Wednesday evening and Thursday evening.
For those people who cannot make any of those we are experimenting with a virtual housegroup.
