Martyn Joseph has just announced an extensive UK tour for November and December of this year and the launch of his first official live album, Don't Talk About Love. The album has been recorded at a number of recent shows, including this year's Greenbelt Festival. The UK tour will follow a number of dates in North America which are the result of contacts made at the Canadian folk festials Martyn played this summer. Nigel Hopkins will be joining Martyn on piano for the tour and there is a possibility that support will come from fabulous US-based singer/songwriter Sarah Masen.

Next Delirious? Single Marks Departure (30th Sep)
The next Delirious?
single will mark a departure from the band's
previous separation of their mainstream and worship
material. In a bizarre move, the band have decided to
release a new version of Cutting Edge-era worship
song "I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever". Cross
Rhythms quote Jonathan Brown of Furious? Records
as saying: "Delirious? fans may be surprised by the
choice of song but when they hear this stunning new
version I think many will agree that it makes sense to
pitch it at the mass audience.� The single will be
released towards the end of the d:tension tour on
December 10th. Before that the band's Fierce
Distribution will be releasing "Schizophrenic" by
Earthsuit (29th October) and "Close To Myself" by
Kendall Payne. Both artists performed at this year's
Greenbelt festival, with Earthsuit going down
particularly well with the assembled Dum Dums fans.
What do you think about these single releases. Are
delirious? deciding that they need to win back their core
Christian audience? Discuss it on our
discussion boards.
