Songs

It would be difficult to pigeon-hole our music into one genre since we’ve dabbled in most things from rock to choral.  The songs we write for use in concerts range from praise and worship to testimony and teaching songs.  The songs we perform will depend on whether we’re working with a choir and band, or if it’s just us and a piano.

You can listen to a medley of our songs by clicking the audio player, or see our YouTube section, below, where you can find links to lots of Screaming Donkeys videos.

  • No Small Feet – The Screaming Donkeys

    During Lockdown, the Screaming Donkeys recorded over 80 songs/music videos for use in online services at our church. The best of these were then remixed and compiled on to a double-album called No Small Feet.  Our curate commented one Sunday that what we were producing for online services was no small feat.  We, typically, decided to mishear him, thus the name of the album.  No Small Feet includes 44 songs, including a few new songs written especially for particular services, and is still available on double-CD for £10 + p&p.

  • Carmina Laetitiae – The Screaming Donkeys

    Christmas music is very popular in our house!  No surprise then that we have now made five Christmas CD’s, each one taking a healthily unorthodox approach to both well-known and lesser-known carols, as well as many written by David, and a few by his father Gordon.  

    Our most recent Christmas album featuring The Screaming Donkeys is called Carmina Laetitiae. It’s still available on CD and is worth every penny of your £10 + p&p.

  • Pictures of Christmas – David & Melanie Churchyard

    Featuring carols with old lyrics to new tunes, and old tunes with new words!   For example, The Merry Morn Of Christmastide, a self-penned celebration that includes the wonderful words ‘For Christ is born of Mary mild, Heav’n’s greatest gift to us – a child, O merry, merry morn of Christmastide!’

    This album also features the best and most jolly version of The Holly & The Ivy we’ve ever found – but perhaps we’re biased.   Still available for £10 + p&p.

  • The Writing On The Wall

    Back in 1993 we wrote and staged a musical based on the first six chapters of Daniel.  Set in the grandeur of ancient Babylon, initially under the rulership of the infamous King Nebuchadnezzar, it includes the Fiery Furnace, the Lion’s Den and, of course, the Writing On The Wall incident at Belshazzar’s feast.  

    This show is full of fun and some great tunes.  £10 + p&p.  See The Writing On The Wall page for more information about staging this show for yourself.
