Welsh hymnwriter Ruthie Thomas releases CD
A WELSH singer and songwriter, described by the Baptist Times as "the first black hymnwriter published in the UK," Ruthie Thomas, has released a seven-song CD. 'Heaven Direct' includes a new revival hymn for Wales, "The Cross Is Raised", which is now being sung by local churches and choirs while "The Song Of The Robin" is an Easter track for children which has been used in an educational programme on the BBC World Service.

A wonderful lady with an amazing gift. Her voice is sweet & her song writing inspiring. Its not what I would normally listen to but I am glad to have been introduced to it. Heaven Direct is a CD I now have in my collection & would recommend to anyone.
