Let It Be Known – Live Album Out 11th March!

Now, their third live album, ‘Let It Be Known’, recorded back in October 2012 and has finally arrived - in day-glo blue. This album is the result of community collaboration; not just from the HTB worship team.

Tim Hughes explains: “We decided to collaborate much more with our songwriting; spending more time writing together. These songs are the fruit of that passion.” At weekend retreats ideas were bounced around, chords strummed and lyrics fine tuned. We think the album has a strong British vibe which boldly reaches into ultramodern sounds.

1. Ready For You (Luke Hellebronth, Nick Herbert, Ben Cantelon)
2. God Most High (Ben Cantelon, Luke Hellebronth, Martyn Layzell)
3. Let It Be Known (Tim Hughes, Nick Herbert, Tom Smith)
4. The Cross Stands (Tim Hughes, Nick Herbert, Ben Cantelon, Matt Redman)
5. Dry Bones (Nikki Fletcher, Tom Smith & Tim Hughes)
6. Kingdom Coming (Tim Hughes, Luke Hellebronth, Martin Smith, Pete Greig)
7. Guardian (Ben Cantelon, Nick Herbert, Stu Garrard)
8. Draw Me Close (Nikki Fletcher, Luke Hellebronth, Joel Wardle)
9. The Constant (Al Gordon, Ben Cantelon)
10. Hallelujah (Ben Cantelon)
11. Our Generation (Luke Hellebronth, Myles Dhillon, Tim Hughes)
12. Set Me Free (Luke Hellebronth, Myles Dhillon)
13. The Same Power (Ben Cantelon, Nick Herbert)

The self-titled single was released on 17.03.2013, with the album soon to follow. With churches already singing the Christ-centred ‘The Cross Stands’, we can sense this album will have much to offer the local church looking for new congregational material.

The Current Worship Leader Line-Up

Tim Hughes: Worship Director at HTB (Holy Trinity Brompton Church, London) and co-founder of Worship Central. Tim began leading worship at the youth festival, Soul Survivor, while he was studying history at Sheffield University. I’m sure he’d have been a great history teacher, but thank God he chose to write and lead worship instead!

Al Gordon: Creative Director & Alpha International Leader at HTB and co-founder of Worship Central. With his trademark quiff/comb-over, Al has helped the church push forward into new areas and to new heights, and he’s also wrote some great worship songs too.

Ben Cantelon: Worship Pastor at HTB. Ben played keyboard with Tim Hughes while he was at his church leading a youth conference in Vancover, Canada. He was offered the opportunity to cross the Atlantic and lead worship under Tim and he’s been here ever since.

Nikki Fletcher: Worship Pastor at HTB, and recent mum. Hailing from Australia, Nikki was asked to join the team and now leads worship regularly, plus she’s recently released her first EP called ‘All Gory’.

Luke Hellebronth: (Another) Worship Pastor at HTB. Luke is perhaps the least known of the bunch, which also probably makes him the most humble too.

And… Myles Dhillon: British Rapper who tags along for the tours and recordings, sparking a modern sound in worship. Myles also works in schools and young offenders institutes using his musical gifts.
