We're excited to announce that Rob and his band will be playing Chepstow Racecourse next month on Sunday 2nd September.
Rob, who has just returned from playing one of the biggest stages at one of the UK’s leading Christian music events - Creation Fest in Cornwall, will be playing the main stage at the world-famous Monmouthshire racecourse as part of the inaugural Wye Valley Food Festival.
Held over two days, the free event, sees a wealth of food vendors, culinary masterclasses, family activities, funfair and live music starting on Saturday 1st September. Rob and the band will be on stage from 4pm.
Rob says he is honoured by the opportunity to play at the event and is encouraging local churches to come together to support it.
“The Wye Valley Food Festival is such an exciting new event with plenty of activities to keep families of all ages occupied,” he said.
“Just looking at the quality of the food vendors, the masterclasses and the activities available, as well as the music, I’ve no doubt it will be a fantastic success.
“I’m excited and honoured to have been asked to play the main stage on Sunday afternoon and think it’s fitting to have Christian music being played on a day where many people in this country gather together to worship.
“At the moment, Christians in the UK are free to worship in public where others around the world are not. It is important we walk in the freedom we are given and many others around the world would love to have.
“What an amazing opportunity for the local church to come together in numbers and worship as one, publicly declaring our faith in front of hundreds and thousands of people at such an iconic sporting venue.”
Tuesday’s worship concert at Gateway Church Abergavenny is officially a sell out!
Thanks to everyone who bought tickets, donated and worked so hard to put this on ahead of Creation Fest UK!
You guys and gals rock! Blown away by the love and support received. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy the music!

Rob and his band are delighted to have been invited to play this summer's Creation Fest 2018.
The annual Christian festival runs from 4-10 August in Wadebridge, Cornwall.
Entry is free and Rob and the band are due on the Big Top Stage at 5pm on Thursday 9th August.
Rob will also be in the main hall throughout the festival, where you will be able to preorder his forthcoming worship album.
Rob is to return to the studio to record the next two tracks of his debut worship album on Monday 7th August 2017.
So far Rob has recorded eight tracks for the record which he hopes to release sometime in 2017/18.
"I'm really excited to be heading into the studio once more," said Rob.
"I can't wait to record 'At your feet we fall' in particular as it is a powerful song which always helps us go deeper into God's presence at Gateway. It is also my 4 year-old son Ben's favourite, so there's understandably been a lot of pressure to get it recorded next!
"We will also be recording 'No More Tears (Glorious Day)' which was inspired a friend from church who sadly passed away last year.
"I would like to thank everyone who is supporting my ministry in every way, without your support I would not have been able to get back into the studio so soon."
