Live at Soul Mama Islington in London: The Christians

Classic Liverpool band The Christians come to Soul Mama. Renowned for an endless string of soulful yet socially aware hits such as Forgotten Town, Ideal World, Born Again, Harvest for the World as well as the Hillsborough charity number one single Ferry Across The Mersey. The Christians enjoyed huge acclaim in the late 80s and early 90s and are headed by lead singer Garry Christian, who still deserves the Daily Mirror’s description as having “One of the finest voices in pop”. Garry is in better form than ever. They have recently had tours with Go West, Hue & Cry, Roachford, Belinda Carlisle, Level 42 and released their new album WE to critical acclaim.

Renowned for an endless string of soulful yet socially aware hits (Forgotten Town, Ideal World, Born Again, Harvest for the World, What’s in a Word, Hooverville, Words, Father, The Bottle and many more) The Christians enjoyed huge acclaim in the late 80s and early 90s both in the UK and Europe. They often confused people with their band name, in fact just the brothers surname with absolutely no religious connotation!

Still headed by enigmatic lead singer Garry Christian (who very much deserves the Daily Mirror’s description of him as having ‘one of the finest voices in pop) who has only gained in vocal stature (and wit) over the years, the band are enjoying a revival currently touring successfully in the UK and Europe.

Currently embarking on a huge UK Tour playing their well known back catalogue and one or two favourites selected from newer albums. Catch them on tour and find out why Chris Evans said ‘it was the best gig I’ve ever been to’.
