The Christians

Liverpool-based soul band formed in the 80s now featuring Garry Christian - vocals, Henry Priestman - keys, accordion, Neil Griffiths - acoustic guitar/backing vocals, Stewart Boyle - electric guitar, Bobby Kewley - bass and Craig Connet - drums.

The Christian brothers Roger, Victor, Garry, Russell, and Mark Christian started in the late 70s as an a cappella group called 'Equal Temperament'.

By the end of 1985 they had renamed themselves 'The Christians.' In 1986 they signed to Island records and immediately began work on their first album with producer Laurie Latham. Their partnership with Latham proved highly successful and they released their debut single, "Forgotten Town" in Jan 1987 to critical acclaim. The release of two more singles ensured that the album went triple platinum with U.K. sales alone exceeding 1,000,000 and on the back of its success the Christians began to tour Europe. By 1988 they had established themselves as a major new British soul act.

The Princes Theatre is the largest multi-purpose entertainment venue in North Essex. Run by the local council, it hosts a varied programme of family entertainment including concerts, plays, comedy and community events.
