The Doorkeeper Sessions

March 2023 sees the launch of The Doorkeeper Sessions - where David releases individual new congregational songs, along with a lyric video.  "Rather than build up an album of material over time, I want to release songs when they are fresh, catching what's on my heart, which other people might be able to connect with and use in their own times of worship," David explained.  

Alchemy

Alchemy - an album of original hammer dulcimer instrumentals, was released in July 2021. Order your CD at https://davidwoodman.bandcamp.com/album/alchemy

Desert Songs

The Psalms in the Bible seem to cover a far wider & deeper subject matter than our modern worship services tend to feature.  Often the writer is declaring how hard life is, how desperate their situation, but ending on a note of praise, trust and hope - Psalm 31 for example.

In the Autumn of 2019 David conceived a project to be called Desert Songs; releasing a song or instrumental every month in 2020 - music for people struggling, lamenting, waiting, but still hoping.  Little did he know how much that would be needed by so many in that year.

Hymnal

David's album "Hymnal" was released in May 2019.

A collection of 10 new arrangements of classic hymns, with an emphasis on congregational singing.

LOOKING UP

David's album of newcongregational Praise and Worship songs "Looking Up" was released on Friday 17th July 2015. The album includes 12 new original songs written over the last 3 years and was recorded with Andy and Wendy Green at Cornerhouse Productions, Radcliffe, Manchester.

"The songs are all born out of times of personal and corporate worship and I really want people to be able to get closer to the Lord through them." said David. "There's a much fuller band sound on this album than I've had previously, but that's what the songs demanded."
