Mal Pope - Why Me
‘Why Me’ is the new studio album from Mal Pope. In 2003 Mal started thinking about the centenary of the 1904 Welsh Revival and the more he read around the subject the more he became convinced that the story could be the basis of a concept album and also a piece of musical theatre for the stage.
The central character is a 26 year old ex miner called Evan Roberts who claimed to have spoken face to face with the Almighty in his little bedroom in Loughor, just on the outskirts of Swansea. He also told people he had seen a cheque being handed over which bore the sum of 100,000 souls. Many dismissed these as the ramblings of a troubled mind but within 18 months the Western Mail had calculated that more than 100,000 souls had indeed been added to the church. The strain proved too much for Evan and he sadly left Wales and the Revival to become a recluse.
The story of the Revival is told through the eyes of journalist and peace campaigner W T Stead who visited Wales during the height of the Revival to interview Evan Roberts. It starts on the 14th April 1912 in the smoking room of the Titanic, the last place Stead was seen alive!
The album features Mal’s band the Jacks and features some of the biggest recordings Mal has ever made.

Mal Pope - Land of my Children
Mal Pope had grown up with Welsh Hymns ringing in his ears. Every Sunday morning the little Gospel Hall his parents took him too would be filled with people singing unaccompanied and in full 4 part harmony.
Even as a young child it was natural for Mal to find his own note and join in. In 1999 Mal decided to return to his musical roots and try to sing those songs he had grown up with in the kight of the musical road he had travelled. 'Calon Lan' and 'Bread of Heaven' were staple songs from his concert performances and choosing another 12 songs to re-interpret became a labour of love.
From 'All through the Night' to 'Gwahoddiad', from 'Crugybar' to 'Tydi A Rhoddaist', Mal has taken the songs of the fathers and given them back to the children.

Mal Pope - Reunion of the Heart
This is the first solo 'Gospel' album Mal has recorded. The title track has become something of a classic having been recorded by Sir Cliff Richard, The Hollies and Phil and John. Mal went into the studio with his band the Jacks and simply played the songs altogether in the same room.
Songs like 'God is Love' raise questions many think shouldn't be raised others like 'My God is Mighty' is a tribute to the likes of Andrae Crouch who so influenced Mal as he was growing up. One of the highlights is a duet with Martyn Joseph of the old Malcolm and Alwyn hit 'Fool's Wisdom'. Some of the songs were co-written with Nia Jones and one was given to Mal by Stuart Townend.
