D&G Young Adults Ministry Presents Singer/Songwriter Martin Smith
Singer/songwriter Martin Smith will bring his God’s Great Club Tour to Dublin on Thursday February 26 when he will perform in the Button Factory. This concert is organised by Dublin and Glendalough’s Young Adults Ministry in cooperation with a number of ecumenical partners and follows two very successful events last year where worship bands, Matt Redman and Rend Collective, played in mainstream venues and sold out.
Martin Smith is the former front man of well known worship band Delerious? which impacted a generation of young people for over a decade starting in the mid 1990s. The band is credited with changing the landscape of worship music. While Delerious? is no more, Martin Smith continues to write songs and recently released his second full length studio album, God’s Great Dance Floor Step 02.
“Anybody can get on the dance floor… that’s the great thing about Christianity. It doesn’t matter where you come from, or what you’ve done… everyone is invited to the party,” Martin says.
Tickets for the concert in the Button Factory cost €15 in advance and are available from Fuel Events https://www.musicglue.com/fuelevents/. They are available to buy on the door on the night at €20. This is a strictly over 18s event.
Young Adults Officer, Greg Fromholz, says that the gig is being run ecumenically and he is delighted to seize the opportunity to do something that represents the Church in a wider setting. “We are trying to continue to be the church without walls. We’re saying ‘here’s a venue you all know – come and hang out with us’,” he explains.
