Sunday Chill Show - January 2012 competition

 

For the January competition we're giving away another copy of the debut CD from Mark Stevens - To Be With You.

'To Be With You' is the new solo album from singer/songwriter Mark Stevens. The album is a collection of 10 brand new songs that are both colourful, intimate and arresting. 'To Be With You' is a personal heartfelt journey of victories, joys and trials. You may remember him as Nick Page in the Australian soap Neighbours, but there's far more to mark than this - moving on to lead worship at Hillsong Ministries and then moving to Bradford in the UK.

The music beautifully parallels the lyrics with vibrant soaring melodies that are richly layered, yet at other times, extremely exposed and simplistic. Mark holds nothing back as he pours out his life into these songs. Mark's voice will deeply connect with you as he lifts, strengthens and empathises with you.

This debut CD has a depth to the lyrics that shows his background as the worship leader for Abundant Life Ministries. Go on, have a listen at: http://distribution.hillsong.com/categories/MarkStevens which is sure to be the first of many albums.

 

To win the CD & DVD, all you have to do is answer the following question:

hich Australian soap did Mark appear in?

You can send your answer in by e-mail with the subject: 'December Sunday Chill Show Competition' by the closing date of: 31st January 2012. A winner will be drawn at random and announced in February 2012

.

Please note: one entry per household from the UK. Terms and Conditions can be found here
