Yet again I'm struck by the simple fact that out there, there are lots and lots of people writing and playing songs, dedicated to celebrating Jesus themselves and to encourage others to do likewise. More Than Karaoke - now that's a clever name - hail from North Wales and remind us all that the singing Christians do when they get together, really is more than a sing-along. The band is built around the Rowlands family, most particularly around Tim's songwriting, vocals and keyboard playing. But make no mistake, it is a real band sound. The songs are definitely in the worship area, focused as they are on God and our response to him. The accompanying newsletter makes it clear that MTK are certainly hard workers, and much travelled including to the US during 2004. For me it was the live tracks that caught the attention. Firstly that they were recorded very well, then for the top quality playing but above all what grabbed my attention was the passion to worship God that they show.
