Belfast, Northern Ireland
With such a string of awards it goes without saying that Amy Grant is one of the most successful Christian recording artists of all time and last night she brought an acoustic version of music to Glenmachan Church, Belfast as part of a three stop European tour.
I was speaking to a number of the audience who had attended the sound check and the common theme was just how sincere and down to earth Amy Grant despite her success.
Amy has a great sense of humour remarking that “Many of you are hear as you have made a connection with one of my songs. Some are wives or girlfriends who have made a connection so some of you are here as you have been dragged along”.
From the laughter Amy definitely made a connection with aforementioned section of the audience who, I have no doubt enjoyed themselves whether they care to admit or not. I know I did.
