Since 1978
Our good friend at CrossRhythms have published the first review (that we know of or have seen) of the new ECHO CD “Bought Not Sold”
A great review on the whole. Only problem is they changed (basist & band leader) Greg’s surname from Nash to Nelson!?! I’m sure he can live with that.

Big congratulations to our very own Liz Clarke who married Ian Moffat on Friday – yes, Valentine’s Day! As you can see from the picture, they married in style in Las Vegas. We wish them much love and every happiness in their future together.
Liz is soon to be heard singing on the new charity single “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” which is released Worldwide as a digital single on Monday 3rd March. She also has a new album coming out soon – more details to follow.
But for now, we think that Liz will be concentrating and enjoying her wedding to Ian – quite right too!
