Thank you for visiting us. This site is a free resource for people wanting to have high quality recordings of hymns in MP3 format that can be used for congregational singing. Join the thousands of people who download music every month.
All the hymns have been arranged and performed by Richard Irwin and used in services at the churches of the Ridgeway Benefice. Each hymn starts with an introduction and pauses are put between verses and/or lines when needed. Hymn lyrics are provided and we welcome emails to suggest alternative sets of lyrics for any particular tune if they are in the Public Domain or we are given permission of the copyright holder.
The arrangements are for every sort of instrumental combination: for traditional organ, orchestra, brass band, rock band, reggae band & etc.. You can receive details of our latest uploads by following us on Twitter - hit the blue button above.
Can you help - please!!!!
The Church where most of these hymn settings are performed Holy Cross, Chiseldon has been the victim of lead theft from the roof five times over the last two years, but we are not alone, as many Churches are similarly suffering including nearby St Andrew's. We are petitioning the government to change the law to stop Scrap Metal Merchants paying cash for lead, making it more difficult for the thieves to sell the lead. Please help by signing the petition by clicking here.
