Pete Hardy - Singer Song-Writer
Pete Hardy worked with a group called Faith in the '70's. Reviewed by Selwyn Hughes, CWR as "...a jewel in God's time-piece of redemption." (Selwyn Hughes, CWR)
Pete has 3 albums with Kingsway.
Through the '80's and into the '90's he wrote, produced and performed on 3 albums with the Pete Hardy Band.
His latest Solo album is called "Just a Bag of Stories."
"When I was a child I sat for hours on the back steps of my parents' house...I sang, cried, laughed, planned and dreamed...I hoped there was more to it all than this...what hope is there for a kid with a downer on himself...who can't kick a football or fight to save his own skin?
When I was 19, Jesus turned my life upside down...opened up a whole new world of opportunity...I was heading down a road of occupational failure, relational breakdown and drink-fuelled amnesia.
In His hands I have been blessed with a good long marriage, great kids, a successful career and the opportunity to share the life I have with Him in amazing places - even got to go to prison lots of times!
"Just a Bag of Stories" is a catalogue of His dealings.
Each of us, in Him, is a letter written clear so that a dying world can know the life He died to give.
The child on the back steps? Under God's careful restoration of the soul is becoming the person his Father in heaven always really wanted him to be.
It's like I'm coming home to myself.
I write songs to make sense to myself of the things God does in our lives. Get me for any group you might have in mind. I like:
church groups, six or seven people around a kitchen table, more just "at home", groups in halls. I did 5,000 in a church in Romania once but it scared me some! I do like prisons."
