What others say about OneSound
Nigel BRIGGS, WORSHIP AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR, TRENT VINEYARD
"It's very special when you discover something fresh, and 'One sound' is very special. The work Matt and the team does is truly inspirational. It’s not easy creating fertile ground for people to grow their gifts and talents in, and yet Matt makes it look easy. This work needs to grow deep and wide to reach more and more."
THE REVD DR. LESLIE GRIFFITHS, THE LORD GRIFFITHS OF BURRY PORT
"Music – to suit the mood, for the good of all, the food of love. Song – to carry our praise, give voice to our prayers. One Sound – organised to bring all this together in a fellowship of wonder, love and praise. Brilliant."
REVD STEVEN WILD, METHODIST PRESIDENT OF CONFERENCE 2015-16
"One Sound is now going to inspire a new generation of gifted young musicians to use their God-given gifts, increase their faith and inspire the wider church and community... It is my hope that all this and the choral taster sessions will bring about lots of fun and friendship for young people in the church."
