Singer Garth Hewitt receives disc from Sir Cliff

VETERAN British singer/songwriter Garth Hewitt received a commemorative disc from Sir Cliff Richard on behalf of Word Music, acknowledging sales of 100,000 copies of his albums. The singer has clocked up 25 years of mobile musical ministry. Word have released a boxed set of his 'Journeys' albums which draw on Garth's experiences in the Holy Land, Africa, Asia and Latin America. Sir Cliff commented, "Garth's voice has been raised faithfully and consistently on behalf of the world's poor and underprivileged for nearly as long as I've been singing! His commitment expressed through issues of Christian justice and responsibility has been a wonderful example and his cutting edge lyrics are more effective than many a sermon or leaflet."
Garth is leader of Christian Aids London and South East team, based at All Hallows On The Wall Church in the city of London, where he is also Guild vicar. In a surprise move, Garth has moved record labels from Word to ICC. His first ICC release 'Gospel Singer' will be released in November.
