The Common Cup Company is a musical group featuring Gordon Light & Ian Macdonald, composers of popular hymns Draw The Circle Wide, She Flies On (She Comes Sailing On The Wind), River Run Deep (River Running In You & Me), Joy Comes With The Dawn an
This musical ministry began when Light (an Anglican Priest and later Bishop), Macdonald (a United Church Minister) along with founding members Jim Uhrich, and Bob Wallace (also United Church Ministers) served at neighbouring churches in the early '80's.
In the following decades the group wrote, performed, & recorded together despite living in different corners the country. Scott McDonald & Richard Betts joined the original quartet on bass & drums in the late '90's.
The group suffered a loss when Jim Uhrich died in 2009, but the addition of Lloyd Maclean brought new inspiration. Common Cup continue to perform and are working towards completion of a new studio album.
