This CD has to be the classic case of looks being deceptive. Looking at the cheaply photocopied cover of Allan looking more like a night club bouncer than a Christian worship leader and father of two you'd be forgiven for expecting the worst. But this four-track demo which you can get free on request from Allan at allan.mckinlay@tesco.net is a pure gem. Allan freely admits to being influenced by artists like Matt Redman, Third day, Martin Smith, Eoghan Heaslip and U2 and it's not hard to notice their influence throughout. Every song on the CD is self written and produced and Allan sings all vocals and plays every instrument immaculately. To date 200 copies of this CD have been given away though if there is any justice then it will be heard by a lot, lot more.

Two things are quite clear from listening to this demo CD. Allan is a serious man of God and a serious musician. This CD is origional, inspiring and uplifting. You have just got to get hold of a copy, and the great news is that Allan will send it to you for FREE if you visit it his website. Only one complaint - Only four tracks - come on Allan record a proper Album I'll buy it if no one else will. By the way Allan is even better live!

Definately a gifted singer songwriter to watch out for. Has a heart for Worship and is totally sold out for God. Listening to Allan's CD brought us into God's presence and we look forward to hearing more from Allan's gifting. May God Bless You and continue to lead you .

The cd is great, Allans voice sounds great, but only four songs we need a 14 track album. A real undiscovered talent. I happen to have heard Allan many times and think he is fab.

I luuurve all of these tracks, left or right is my favourite. You'd be forgiven for thinking this was written for a platinum selling multi-million pound album, what a talent! I agree with the album, I'd buy it.

These songs are really good and deserve exposure to a much wider audience. Allan is a VERY talented worship leader, singer and musician, needs to sign a deal with someone soon. He is a major undiscovered asset to Christain music. Watch out for him!!

Allan is avery talented musician, songwriter and worship leader. He is a young man who is serious about God and is a good role model for the youth of our nation. God has blessed him with gifting in music and song writing but more than this God has annointed him to lead worship and to bring others into His presence.

I was pleasantly surprised at how an ordinary looking CD could be so refreshingly inspired by the Holy Spirit. I was totally led into God's presence and would recommend this CD to everyone. Way to go DUDE!!!

allan you are a great singer/songwriter, with a real passionate love for God. I know all the hard work you have put into this cd and into serving God through your amazing gift of music, I know God is just as touched by your music as I am and that i am sure many others will be.

Thanks for your demo which you give to folks generously for free! Fantastic demo tape - even better hearing you live at bbbc church - worship flowed with the spirit. Time someone signs you for an album and more folks out there can hear you. Bless you and look forward to hearing you again in May.

second and third tracks are two of the best worship songs i have ever heard.with a professional producer AND THE RIGHT BACKING you are looking at one of the best ways of not only reaching hearts for christ but also leading you into the very presence of god.The lyrics are inspirational and the music beautiful.if anyone has wisdom sow into this ministry and you will reap an incredible harvest for the lord.Seldom have i come across suchan inspiring sound with words that penetrate into the deepest parts of your soul.well done good and faithful servant GOD bless u

Michael
