Garth Hewitt released his first album “The Lion and the Lamb” in 1973, and his newest, “Something for the Soul” in August 2014. In between there have been close to 40 others covering a wide variety of subjects and styles, including two for children and one in Spanish(!),”Moonrise” in 2010 to celebrate 25 years of Amos Trust, “Justice Like a River”, an album of worship songs on justice, and “Liberty is Near!”, a recording of Chartist hymns from the 1840s which Garth put to music.

Touring for 40 years Garth has visited areas of poverty, conflict, deprivation, and disaster, prioritizing friendships with local people and bringing them encouragement, but always returning to Europe and the US with personal stories bringing to life media headlines, keeping individual’s stories at the forefront when newspapers have forgotten, and challenging the privileged to share, and to join the protest against injustice.

Founding the human rights charity Amos Trust in 1985, Garth worked for 26 years as its Director, then handing that role on to Chris Rose; Garth maintains a role with Amos as Founder.
