A little while ago, in a galaxy not so far away, Mal Fletcher started making public appearances not as a speaker or media presenter but as a singer/songwriter/musician (piano & keyboards).
Mal doesn't normally perform these days, but we thought you might like to hear some of the backlist -- just for fun!
'Come Holy Spirit (Fall Afresh on Me)' is Mal's best known song -- it is still being recorded on albums around the world today -- but he also wrote many other songs. He was involved in co-producing some of the earliest Youth Alive albums (e.g. 'Shake This City' and 'Shake This City 2') but he also recorded three solo albums, for which he wrote most of the tracks.
Here are a few clips from these early albums, recorded between 1984 and 1989, in Australia and the UK. Click to listen to a clip. (Remember: if they sound very 80s, it's because they were!!)
Mal's favourites? 'I Want To Be Real', 'Come Holy Spirit' and 'Come Away'

Mal, just to say thanks for what you brought to ALC recently. It was great to hear your perspective on our culture. I love that you are here in Europe; you're a much needed voice & a great inspiration.
