Discography

"International releases"

Revival in Belfast.

It was Robin's first international release in 1999 and was very commercially successful with sales of around 500,000 half of which where in the US, where the album stayed in the top 50 worship albums sales chart for over four years and continues to be in the top 100. The album was certified Gold in Canada in 2004 and in Australia in 2006, it has also become one of the best selling worship albums ever in South Africa. The song "Days of Elijah", which had been firstly placed on a previous album that was only released in the United Kingdom, became one of the biggest songs in Christian music at that time.

Come heal this land

Two years after “Revival” the follow up "Come Heal this Land" continued where the first Integrity album left off, introducing new songs of praise and worship with the Celtic flavour inherent in Robin's work and reaching sales of around 300,000.

Revival in Belfast 2

His last live release “Revival in Belfast 2” is still selling well with over 100,000 sold in the first year of release having been the number one best selling worship album in Canada, the US and Australia.

East of the river

"Early career and Europe wide releases"

A first Church based album in 1992, "Captive Heart", spawned several songs that are still being used in worship not only in his home church but throughout Northern Ireland and the world. Further locally produced albums, “Not by Might” and “Days of Elijah” became best sellers in Ireland in the mid 1990s. News of Robin's songs and albums was spreading fast and UK distributors, publishers and event organisers began to make contact.

Europe wide release of new albums followed including the award winning certified U.K. Gold selling "Mandate" conference series with a unique blend of old and new songs presented in the context of the largest men's conference in the U.K. held in Belfast's Waterfront Hall. Further songs also followed including the anthem "Revival", the poetic "Take us to the River", and many other psalms, hymns and spiritual songs used throughout the world by congregations for worship.
