The first ever live worship album from Tim Hughes, the writer of ‘Here I am to worship’, still one of the top 10 songs in the CCLI charts all around the world.
Happy Day is great value for money, containing a CD and DVD in a special digipack. The DVD is a complete version of the concert, hosted by Al Gordon, recorded in the famous London Shepherds Bush Empire with 2000 worshippers. The specially commissioned visuals add another dynamic to the message of the songs.
The DVD also features a talk by Mike Pilavachi and a behind-the-scenes interview with Tim Hughes about his new songs. Tim is joined on the stage by a group of hand picked musicians and singers: Martin Smith (from Delirious?), Stu G (also from Delirious?), members of the 29th Chapter and the Sacred dance team London.
With four brand new songs (‘Remember’, ‘Jesus saves’, ‘We won’t stay silent’ and ‘Give us your courage’) and monumental live performances of the worship anthems that are resonating throughout Churches in the UK (‘Beautiful one’, ‘Consuming fire’, ‘Here I am to worship’, ‘Happy day’, ‘God of justice’ and ‘Dance’), this will be an unforgettable experience.
Produced by Nathan Nockels (Passion Live Albums) and directed by Andy Hutch (Delirious? and Facedown by Matt Redman), Happy Day will be the album everyone wants to own.

Good Live Album Tim Hughes includes some great new songs as well as mixing it up with some of his great old ones. The opening track Jesus saves is brilliant. Just a bit frustrating to hear a lot of songs you already own for your 15 quid. The bonus DVD makes it worthwhile though with a great talk from Mike Pilavachi as well as Some live clips from the concerts. Still very good despite my little moan!
Class worship This is the first live album from popular UK worship leader Tim Hughes. Often with live music albums it can be easy to dismiss them as a quick cash in on the popularity of previously released studio albums by simply recording them again but in a live setting. And in many cases that accusation is fair. But not in this one.
Tim Hughes has done a great job here of ensuring you get value for money. Not only does this release include several brand new songs, but it also has re-jigged arrangements for some of the others. As well as that you get a guest appearance by 29th Chapter on the track Dance, Martin Smith pops up on Here I am to worship (which also has a class new final refrain), and Stu G from Delirious? as one of the musicians. Not only that but there is also a bonus DVD with video of the worship session it was recorded it (in London's Sheppard Bush), a talk by Mike Philvachi and interviews with Tim about some of the new songs.
Throughout all the songs there is a real passion and authenticity to the worship, and I would honestly saw this is one of the best live worship recordings I have heard.
Of the new songs Give us your courage and Jesus saves stand out as ones that you can expect to hear in churches in the near future, and Dance is a great celebratory/praise song. Remember is a reflective song about the Cross and works well.
There is also the semi-new We won't stay silent (it comes from Compassion:Art) which has a great message about speaking out for God and is a great tune as well.
As well as these new songs this CD/DVD set has some of Tim's best songs Happy Day, Consuming Fire, Everything, Beautiful One and God of Justice so if you don't have original versions of those this is a great way to get them.
Overall Happy Day is a great buy for anyone into worship who doesn't have a lot of Tim Hughes and has enough new material to be well recommended for those of you who are already big Tim Hughes fans and have all his studio albums.
A Bonus Great to listen to casually or use as a congregational worship songs. The first ever live worship album from popular contemporary artist Tim Hughes comes with a bonus DVD which is, well, a bonus.
