EIGHTIES and Nineties chart toppers The Christians bring their 30th Anniversary Tour to Christchurch Regent Centre tonight.
The Liverpool based band are renowned for an endless string of soulful yet socially aware hits like Forgotten Town, Ideal World which was a UK No 14 hit, Born Again, Harvest for the World which was a UK No 8 hit, What’s in a Word, Hooverville, Words, Father, The Bottle and many more.
The Christians took its name from the surname of the brothers, Garry and the late Roger Christian who co-founded the Band in the 1980s and has absolutely no religious connotations!
They are still headed by enigmatic lead singer Garry Christian, who really deserves the Daily Mirror’s description of him as having “one of the finest voices in pop” and who has only gained in vocal stature and wit over the years!
The Band are currently enjoying a revival of their hits as a result of their highly successful tours of the UK and Europe to celebrate their 30th Anniversary.
During their UK Tour, The Christians will be playing their well-known back catalogue of hits and songs, together with selections from their latest album, WE, which was released in November 2015 to rave reviews.
