Noel Richards

Our new worship song - “Stand Up” is released today and available on all streaming platforms. I am really excited about this song which I co-wrote with my friend Wayne Drain.

It is a call to worship, a call to lift up the name of Jesus and a call to be bold in sharing our faith. 
It was inspired by Nehemiah 9:5-6 


Recording took place at the legendary former ICC Studio in Eastbourne, UK, with Neil Costello and Les Moir producing.  

The song features a great line-up of musicians supporting Noel on lead vocals…

At the end of May, I was in the city of Szeged, Hungary for a stadium worship event organised by Ez Az A Nap. I performed four songs with great support from Csiszerband.

7,000 people gathered in the stadium and many Hungarian artists participated. The event concluded with a great set of songs from Rend Collective.

My latest podcast. This podcast was inspired by reading about an Anglican clergyman who mentored many influential people within the UK church. Maybe an unsung hero. It got me thinking about the importance of being mentored and mentoring others.

I am delighted that this album – Noel Richards Live – is now streaming on all platforms.

It was recorded at Regents Hall, Oxford Street, London, UK, in December 1994 when we were on the 'Warrior' Tour.

The album captures the beginning of a journey that would culminate at London's Wembley Stadium for the “Champion of the World” event in June 1997.

The core band comprised:

Brad Mason – drums

Andi Skipsey – bass

James Taylor – keys

Vanessa Freeman – backing vocals

These guys toured extensively with me in the following…

Now streaming on all platforms. This was my second studio album, released in 1989, featuring my live touring band at the time.

It was released originally on cassette (remember those?) back in 1989. Musically, it really does have that 1980s feel, but we hope you enjoy listening. 

It was produced by Andy Piercy and featured my live band of that period. There are some wonderful sax solos from Craig Rickards on the tracks.

On lead guitar was Doug Horley who later wrote 'We Want To See Jesus Lifted High'.

I have just uploaded a simple acoustic version of our song - “By Your Side” - to my Official YouTube Channel. This is the latest in a series of acoustic videos available there.

This was my first album, released in 1986 and featuring a fantastic line-up of musicians.

I thought it might be good to re-issue it. Musically, it is very 1980s, but I hope you enjoy listening to it.

My favourite song on the album is 'Father's Love' and you can take a listen here by clicking on the image above.

Myself and Dave Bilbrough were special guests on the 100th episode of the  "Off Grid Christianity Podcast", hosted by Martin Purnell.

Recorded live in September 2024, we play some of our compositions, together with stories behind the songs plus our thoughts on some of the subjects that have been covered in the previous 99 episodes.

This episode will bring you laughter, encouragement and much more.
