Win tickets to see The Christians

They are renowned for an endless string of soulful yet socially aware hits including Forgotten Town, Ideal World, Born Again, Harvest for the World, Whats in a Word, Hooverville, Words, Father, The Bottle and many more.

The Christians enjoyed huge acclaim in the late 80s and early 90s though people were often confused with their name (in fact it’s the brothers’ surname with no religious connotation).

The band is still headed by enigmatic lead singer Garry Christian who was described by the Daily Mirror as having “one of the finest voices in pop” and who has only gained in vocal stature (and wit) over the years.
