We turned up to a gig, and left experiencing worship which was unearthly and cosmic. This is when life is at its best, when it chucks surprises right in your face, and doesn't let you absorb them.
The great hall in Cardiff Students Union holds 3000, the gig was sold out, and all 6000 eyes were crazed for this hypnotic man, moving dancing praising across the stage. I think it must of been 20mins in when Dougie (the lead guy - who btw once studied fashion and marketing) first opened his eyes.
Musically it was perfection, i wanted to vertically lie on the floor and absorb fully all that was being played. And what was being played was a cry, a calling for something more, it was pure worship done in a public place through mainstream music. Something which ive never experienced, but want to spend my life promoting and pursuing.
The last song, and dougie who had spent the time unaware that anyone was watching him, launched himself into the audience, he moved himself down to where me and warren were standing, and warren just prayed for him, and when it looked like doug was gunna leave, he stayed for a while longer.
Sweaty, hot and speechless we left, and decided we had to atleast try and meet the band and encourage them. So we waited, after a while i spotted a guy walk past me, it took me a few seconds to trigger, but it was the bassist. I couldn't leave him go, so just as he was about to shut the tour bus door, i go ..
"Excuse me.. Are you a christian?"
Confused and most probs scared, he re asked what i said, and he replied yes i am. This launched into a conversation between the three of us, and basically he said "I feel God's anointed our gigs" and "pray for Dougie, he needs it."
Amazing. Truly and unbelievable night. x
