OVERFUNDED! Thanks so much everyone. We've reached our target with two days to spare! Maybe you're wondering about still contributing? Any extra contributions at this stage will go towards ensuring we have the best line-up of musicians and singers available. As with any project we have to juggle the budget, prioritise and compromise. Extra funds mean we are more able to go for the best creative choice instead of the best budgetary choice.

It's time for Resound Worship to record a Christmas Album. We're excited about it, we've got big plans. Give us a few minutes of your time so we can tell you more.

[*important info: pledges are through Paypal, so you can use your own currency!]

We want Christmas to be a time of worship, not just tinsel, carols and sleigh bells etc. There are plenty of popular carols, and revamped versions of carols, and new carols... But what about songs with Christmas themes that stand up as worship songs in their own right? The Resound Worship team have been trying to set this right, collaborating over several years on songs about the incarnation, the birth of Christ, Advent, etc, that sound like real songs.

We know you love the songs because our Christmas material outperforms every other song on our site. In November and December we're inundated with new subscribers. This is great, but we want the songs to be more than just an item in a service. We want to create something you can take home and love listening to. We want worship to be the soundtrack to your Christmas. 

We need to share this. Jesus' birth is good news for all people, that's what the angels said. We're aiming to produce something that sounds special, that you could proudly give as gifts to family and friends. We've worked hard on our demos over the years, but we're looking for something better. Quality musicians and beautiful arrangements that can reach a whole new audience. 

So it's time to record an album. We’ve been plugging away for a while now, working collaboratively, doing something a bit different. We take real care over how our songs are created, we work hard at them together. It’s about time we tried to apply that collaborative, innovative approach to recording. We want to create together a Christmas album that isn’t just the latest vamped up version of popular carols but is something new, creative, unprecedented.


So that’s the big plan. But we need your help. We can fund some of it ourselves but we need to raise an additional £10,000 to help make this happen. That pays for producers (we've signed up the fantastic Weeks brothers), musicians, mixing, mastering and pressing. All the usual stuff! 

That’s why we’re coming to you now. Will you help us to raise the funds to get our Christmas Album ready in time for this Christmas? We're offering a whole raft of rewards in return for your support, so have a look at the list on the right and see what you can do. Or watch this short video.

Let's do this together.
