Come Lord Jesus Come Lord Jesus is our first album, containing my best known song "Lord Jesus We Enthrone You." It features the songs from a celebration in music, dance and drama, which has been presented extensively in Ireland, and also in France and Africa, calling us to prepare for the return of Jesus, the King. The album features a choir from the Belfast community, and is classically arranged and beautifully produced by Paul McAree.

Good Morning DadGood Mornin' Dad, features the popular song by the same name, that has helped many people come into a deeper experience of God the Father's love. It is a more contemporary album, recorded in partnership with my friend with "the amazing voice", Norman Mc Kinley. A great album to waken up to in the morning ! An ongoing favorite.

O IrelandO Ireland is the most Celtic album with some wonderful traditional musicianship and female vocals. "I've never heard such a pure voice as that girl on Be Thou My Vision" many have said. If you carry prayer for Ireland, these songs can both educate and inspire you. Some haunting arrangements by the Spirit of God (and McAree too!).

The Bright Hostage Series - This series is recorded in Minneapolis with a new production team. In it I have combined reflective story telling with the songs, to inspire you in your daily journey with God. A song can be listened to and then a meditation read, as a personal spiritual exercise. Some have found this extremely helpful. I've called the little booklet accompanying each album, "Gilbert's Journal." (and tell you why in Volume1.)

  • St Brendan's Company
  • Why O Why Lord Minnesota
  • My Soul Finds Rest
  • Heaven is Here at Last
  • Arise O Lord and Come
  • Land of Opportunity
  • The Other Day
  • In God We Trust
  • A Bridge

VoyageThe Voyage of the Bright Hostage is reflectively created, with humor and a generous dose of social commentary, by this Belfast boy newly come to the land of Mickey Mouse and Big Mac.This album introduces you to the "wild goose" (the term the Celtic Saints used for the Spirit of God) and shows how he is involved in all of our lives, and in the whole of life.

TrekThe Trek of the Bright Hostage is the second in this series. It leads us into a profound awareness of who Jesus is, what he has done and what difference it can make in our lives and relationships. Songs to be moved by and to meditate on - helped again by Gilbert's musings in Volume 2 of his Journal.! Some great piping and family vocals, and over sixty minutes of music.
