Seth Pinnock heads up the UK-based youth movement called Midnight Oil Summit and this album was recorded at the 2013 gathering in the Symphony Hall Birmingham. The live recording captures the passion and enthusiasm of this gospel band and showcases some of their great songs. From the high energy fast tempo gospel of "Bread Of Heaven" through the more laid back "Already Done" with its insanely catchy bridge to the very pared back "In Your Presence" the band and singers take it all in their stride with some effective harmonies, super tight rhythms and memorable riffs. Having made the UK's Official Christian & Gospel Albums Chart 'Midnight Oil: Live In Worship' is clearly connecting with Midlands worshippers and we wait with interest to see whether Seth's ensemble can continue their upward momentum.
