INTERVIEW – NICK HERBERT

Here is the 5th Interview, this time with the gifted worship leader and songwriter Nick Herbert.

Please can you tell us about yourself and what do you do?
I’ve been the main Worship Leader at St Mary’s Bryanston Square in London for over ten years now, organising the bands, writing songs and leading worship. I’m married to Ali who’s also a musician and we have 2 kids – Gracie & Josiah.

How and when did you become a Christian?
I became a Christian around the age of 16 through some friends I initially met playing football at a local park!

What song personally means the most to you and why?
The song I’m playing lots at the moment is ‘Adoration’ by Brenton Brown as I think it says it all!

What books would you recommend as ‘must reads’?
Some great books for worship leaders are Matt Redman’s ‘Facedown’ and ‘inside Out Worship’

What are the most important things you think every worship leader should know?
Remember it’s all for God and His glory.

Any other words of wisdom?
Aim for the ideal, live with the actual.
