Claremont Music
Featuring Ron Lowton, singers and musicians of Claremont Church, Bolton
Ron is a prolific song-writer and now has his own web site at www.ronlowton.com, which is dedicated to recording the history of the musical heritage of Claremont Music. Much of Ron's music features lyrics directly from the bible (God's Word) put to music. It does you good to listen to it!
Darkness into Light
The very latest Claremont Music CD was launched at our charity concert "Darkness into Light" in 2024 and includes the title song (written in response to the Ukraine war and the international aid efforts taking place there); several new songs, including the calypso style "Bethlehem"; and a number of remastered songs from the past, including "Master Builder", originally written in 1980 and recently updated with a completely new tempo.
"Darkness into Light" CD is available from the church office at only £10.
How Can These Things Be
Recorded in 2021 / 2022 at the Glenn Phillips Studios, "How Can These Things Be" features new, previously unrecorded songs such as "Let it Rain"; "Soaring on the Wings of Your Love" and the title track - along with a few old favourites re-recorded.
"How Can These Things Be" is available to buy from the church office at £10 per CD. It's well worth it!
Anthem of Praise
In the 1980's the church singers and musicians wrote a great deal of scripture based prophetic songs inspired by the Holy Spirit and produced, performed and recorded by church members and friends from other churches in Bolton. Anthem of Praise was probably the most popular, with a large choir backing superb soloists. It toured the UK, with performances in several towns and cities.
In 2017 some of the original musicians got together to revisit, re-master and re-record this musical, which is as timeless as the scripture on which it was based. Re-mastered tracks are available freely on the web site, unfortunately, for technical reasons, in lower quality than the originals. However, the remastered album is now available as a high quality CD from the church office for the very reasonable price of £5.
Please follow this link to listen to Anthem.
