'Into Jerusalem'

now mixed and mastered!

The new Raymond McCullough Celtic/Hebrew worship album, 'Into Jerusalem',  after nearly four months of concentrated work, is now completely mixed/mastered and will be officially launched this September.

However, we are making pre-release copies available NOW, in order to help fund the cost of manufacturing officially licensed, (glass-mastered), CDs.  Anyone who purchases a pre-release copy now will receive a FREE glass-mastered CD when the album is officially launched.

The album contains twelve tracks: ranging from rock anthem and acoustic rock; to bluegrass gospel and a country/bluegrass anthem; Scottish and Irish jigs, reels & marches; Celtic hymns and slow airs; and three plaintive Hebrew melodies.  This is a worship album with a difference!  

Celtic Roots Radio

The album has been uploaded to the new ChristianBands.co.uk site, (which launched at the beginning of this year), and in a few days we had a track at No.2 in their weekly chart! Two tracks are currently at No.8 and No.13 in their monthly chart and our Celtic Roots Radio station is currently at No.11 (out of 90 stations!) 

This station at the moment plays all the tracks from our two albums, plus any other Celtic or roots tracks we can find on the site.  As this expands we hope to set up a proper independent Celtic station - perhaps on Live 365.

ChristianBands.co.uk

We have tracks in several different CB genres: Rock, Celtic, Folk, Bluegrass, Instrumental and Praise and Worship - several of these in the No.1 position!  You can help the progress of the songs in these charts by playing them, (each play helps the song go up the chart), and also by rating the songs (1-5) as you play them, (helps get the song featured on the front page of the site). 

You can also help by passing on our MP3 Postcards, (see below), to your friends and contacts, by encouraging them to join our POPnews and KCT-Update newsletters, and, of course, by buying a pre-release copy of the album!
