The Christians

The Christians had a string of soul-inspired pop hits in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s including Forgotten Town, Born Again,When the Fingers Point, Ideal World, Father, Perfect Moment, What’s in a Word and cover versions of Harvest for the World and The Bottle.

Next month, The Christians release their brand new single Where Do the Children Play.

The name ‘Christians’ refers to the brother’s surname (the original line up included Roger, Russell and Garry Christian as well as Henry Priestman). During their rise to fame the Liverpool based band developed a reputation for being ’socially aware’ and unsurprisingly comparisons were drawn to The Temptations due to the depth and range of the brother’s magical vocal harmonies.

Fast forward a few years and The Christians have a new line up which includes Stewart Boyle, Joey Ankrah, Lionel Duke and Cliff Watson.  The vibe is relaxed … unplugged and acoustic but the voice is still incredible as is the sultry smile behind the Raybans!

The band are to release a new single in February via Island records to celebrate almost a quarter of a century of making music and can be seen live at the following dates later this month:
