Guess Iām officially a girl dad now.
So grateful to the incredible night shift staff in the delivery suite at @royalsurreycountyhospitalās NHS @royal_surrey_maternity_unit. We were looked after very well by every midwife (and superb student midwives), nurse, doctor and other members of staff who worked through the night to make sure both baby and mother were safe and cared for.
And of course, I am so proud of @mrs.sharon.ting, who braved a tough - and at times scary - labour and birth, and is already making good use of the caring maternal gifts from which her students have benefited over the course of her teaching career so far. Very excited to be sharing this new adventure with you x
(n.b. we have made the decision as new parents not to share full face photos or personal details of our daughter on social media - but rest assured she looks a little like me and a little like Sharon!)

1 YEAR MARRIED!
So many people told me that:
(1) your wedding day is the best day of your life, and I should enjoy it, and
(2) the first year of marriage is the hardest, and I should hang in there.
Our experience is that this has not been the case.
Perhaps itās because we were a little bit older going into it, and perhaps itās because both of us had done lots of individual preparation for being married before weād ever met, been careful in choosing our partners, as well as asking all the difficult questions before deciding to get hitched and devoting time to communication afterwardsā¦ but we have actually found the first year of marriage to be incredibly easy.
And likewise, our wedding day was absolutely brilliant (as you would expect happens when an event planner marries someone who has played hundreds of weddings), but the truth is that we have had many even better days since then. A few of them you may have seen on Instagram, but many of them are ones just shared between us, doing fairly unremarkable things with utterly perfect company.
The first 366 days as Mr and Mrs Ting have been awesome, but it blows my mind to think that our best years together are still ahead of us.
Happy 1st anniversary, my love. I still donāt know exactly what it is Iāve done to deserve to do life with you, but Iām so glad I did x

After the last shred fest I thought I should show that my 3:2 degree in How To Play Fewer Notes And Attract Women awarded to me by Neasden Polytechnic and Rendering Facility has been put to good use. At the marvelous @606club with the amazing @lizziedeanesinger and her brilliant band @claydondrums @tonmeister99 @carlbassplayer @johannting Hopefully it wonāt be too long before we all play together again. #music #guitar #guitarstagram #guitaristsofinstagram #guitarist

Enjoying this pea-based m*lk alternative from @sproud - weāre trying to make better decisions for our health, and as a part of that Iāve been trying to find a way to cut down the unnecessary carb intake I was getting from oat m*lk, while still being able to enjoy making lattes and pouring art. It tastes pretty neutral, and even with my relatively amateur skills it foams and pours beautifully as you can see.
If youāre also an alternative milk user, give peas a chance! No affiliation and not a paid ad, but Iām hoping this becomes a thing and pea-based m*lk remains available.
For the coffee geeks: espresso machine is a @sageappliancesuk Barista Pro, jug is by @mhw_3bomber and cup is a double-wall @fellowproducts Monty.

There are so many reasons to love @dollyparton and the way she chose to use her fame, fortune and influence to make the world better for everyone else. Thank you to her (and all the supporters of @imaginationlibraryuk)for sending our little one her first free book.
Dolly, whose father couldnāt read or write, started her first @imaginationlibrary with the aim of promoting literacy by sending a free book every month to any children who sign up, until they reach the age of five. No strings attached, no conditions on household income, etc. It - like Dolly - sounds too good to be true, but turns it it actually is!
At my school, like many others, there is a huge push for literacy, as they are strongly tied to academic outcomes, cultural awareness, critical thinking and a greater choice of options later on in life. I have my tutor group (12-13 years old) read silently for fifteen minutes every morning - they donāt always want to, but I am counting on this habit helping to set them up for their futures.
Please feel free to tag or share with any parents of little ones that could benefit from thisā¦ itās absolutely wonderful!

I had just graduated from Imperial College and was in New York for three monthsā training with Goldman Sachs. The Manhattan apartment they rented me was two blocks south of the WTC (2 South End Avenue if you want to look it up), and a few of us had been up near in the Windows On The World on the top floor - as we had done several times - the night before. I saw the panicked people running around the streets when walking to work near Wall Street just before 9am, and watched the second plane hit and both towers collapse. Five hours later, we walked up an eerily deserted Fifth Avenue in search of somewhere to stay as we werenāt allowed to go back home to our apartments, with fighter jets circling and the plume of smoke from Ground Zero above us.
Had to sleep in a hotel room with 7 other trainees near 72nd Street, bought Iā¤ļøNY t-shirts for 5 for $10 from the street vendors who now had no business since we only had the clothes we were wearing. Two weeks later was on the first flight back to London after four hour queues to get through security on the day they opened the airspace. I didnāt own a camera back then (ironically my parents had bought me one as a gift for my graduation ceremony in October), and all I have are the memories permanently etched on my brain.
I knew that day that I didnāt want to spend my life working in an industry solely focused on making money, and it started a long chain of dominoes that led me to where I am today.
25 years ago, and I remember it like it was yesterday.

Iāve had a week to contemplate and reflect on Davidās Tent 2026, one that was - in a few ways - unlike the 5 Iād done before it.
First of all, although my wife had come with me before, it was the first one to which I was able to bring our daughter (this did mean that my wife missed the first three sets I was scheduled to play). We did get to buy her first pair of pre-walking shoes! (the baby, that is, not the wife)
Second, the tragic events at Big Church Festival lingered over the event, something the DT26 team handled incredibly wellā¦ particularly when nearby lightning strikes amidst torrential rain forced emergency evacuation of the big tent and cancelled the 2nd set I was due to play with the marvellous Harvest Grapevineā¦ she then proceeded to lead impromptu worship in the musicianās lounge anyway with everyone trapped in by the rain, and we were able to catch a talk she was giving afterwards which only served to elevate my regard for her.
Third was getting to finally play with my brother (and recent new dad) Dave Powell for his own set! Dave has served faithfully as the fixer and MD for countless leaders over many years, and it is an honour to be invited to play when he is leading (also fab to meet his and @deniseabygaleās handsome little guy). Thank you for including me in the family, my friend.
Finally was getting the opportunity to play, hang and chat with Pat Barrett, the voice, pen and soul behind so many worship songs sung in churches around the world every Sunday. Like everyone else mentioned in this post, Pat treated everyone with such love. Thereās something special about meeting your heroes and discovering that they might actually be better people - if that were even possible - than they are musicians!
Thank you also to everyone I played with (@harvestgrapevine, @dtgpowell and @patbarrett, but also musicians including @barnabas.shaw, @thomas.buckler, @timstephenson0620, @philmartinmusic, @deniseabygale, @julia_loveless_, @paulwatson1st, Joseph Soden), and everyone who took care of us (@julia_loveless_ again, @alexkatemusic, @jonnykyle, @anakyle & team).
See you all next year!

Feeling so grateful to celebrate my 2nd Fatherās Day as a dad. Itās a privilege not everyone gets to enjoy, and I thank the Lord every day for @mrs.sharon.ting and Tiny Ting for giving me this amazing job š„°
Thinking as always of everyone who finds Fatherās Day difficult for any reason x

While Iām not exactly surprised, I am so incredibly proud that @lizziedeanesinger has led @thehawkstonefarmerschoir to winning @bgt (Britainās Got Talent) this year!
Iāve had the incredible privilege of knowing Lizzie in a professional capacity for more than 20 years (when depping on a musical production she was starring in), playing in her band for almost 15, joining her on cabaret gigs, accompanying her choirs etcā¦ but beyond that we have also held each othersā babies, she gave me the honour of singing at her wedding etc, end I have seen her treat everyone with the utmost of integrity and respect, even when nobody is looking.
@mrs.sharon.ting and I first heard a little bit about it when Lizzie was kind enough to let us use her front room for Sharon to teach an online course from before we attended a friendās funeral nearby, and while she wasnāt able to reveal lots of detail about what was happening, it was apparent that she was passionate about the ensemble she was working with and the cause they were supporting. In addition to being a phenomenal singer and musician herself, Lizzie has always been happy to let the spotlight shine on others, so it is altogether fitting that she has enabled, guided and conducted the first choir winners of this competition.
Well done!!

Today is Cleoās 12th birthday, so here is a throwback photo from when she was 8 months old, another with her late twin Chloe, as well as a more recent screenshot from a home video with another small being.
Itās a testament to what a special creature she is that our daughterās first word (other than āDadaā) was actually ācatā, and that she bounces around and exclaims it excitedly whenever she sees her. Hoping Cleo will be around for a good few more years to see our little one grow up and able to cuddle and love on her fully!

Over the past week or so, we celebrated a whole year with our little portable pocket of sunshine.
We are so grateful to be your parents, and so excited to watch and guide you into becoming everything you are going to be.
