Summer 2013
Summer 2013 UGANDAN MONKEY BOY As it went on, the more interested I got. The nearer they came to finding him, the more intense it was. They eventually caught up with him, with a group gathered round him in Kampala, singing & playing a guitar. I could hardly believe my eyes as I watched the […]

Autumn/ Winter 2002 BRYN HAWORTH CONCERT In September we hosted a Bryn Haworth concert at Riverside Christian Centre to promote the work and vision of Guitar Aid. The place was overflowing with about 350 people. Everyone appreciated Bryn’s music and testimony. How one man makes a guitar sound so good is a mystery to me! […]

Spring 2005 UKRAINE AT MINUS 16 In spite of flying to Kiev, we still managed to clock up over 2500 miles on this trip! Driving from Kiev in thick snow was quite an experience. Then traveling for a few hours to some smaller towns and villages, on roads that were barely visible. Our journey to […]

Summer 2004 JOURNEY TO TAZMANIA This was our third visit to Tanzania. The longest part of the journey is the train ride from Dar es Salaam to Tabora. It is hard to imagine getting on the train one morning and not arriving at our destination until the following evening! We were in the carriage for […]
Spring 2003
Spring 2003 CAMBODIA TRIP This was our first trip to Asia, and we were not quite sure what to expect. We had read many reports of what life was like since the Pol Pot reign of terror. We felt a bit like Joshua and Caleb, because instead of despair, we found a country rich in […]

Spring 2009 SHARING THE MUSIC We took over 30 guitars to Eastern Europe recently, distributing them to Romania, Hungary, Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia. The reaction is always enthusiastic, bringing delight to those who receive them. Visiting Churches where our guitars are being used is always a great experience. The joy on their faces tells you […]

Spring 2004 NEW IMPROVED TRANSPORT What a blessing to be back on the road again. Within 5 months of losing everything, we now have a new trailer and a 5-year-old Land Rover. There was a great sense of excitement as we set off for Romania and Hungary. We could not believe how much difference it […]
Autumn 2011
Autumn 2011 ETHIOPIA Our first experience in Ethiopia was not a good one. We arrived at the airport at 6.00pm, expecting no problems, as in so many countries we visit. The custom officials on duty were determined to make life as difficult as possible for us, by firstly demanding $300 duty for the guitars, then […]
Autumn/Winter 2007
Autumn/Winter 2007 TOGO, West Africa What a thrill to meet up with some of the Pastors in Togo. Just 25yrs ago there were only a handful of them and very few Churches. Now they have over 1000 churches and about 500 pastors. 80% of the population, have had no formal education, this is in stark […]
