As the prime movers in the soul scene that emerged out of Merseyside at the end of the 1980s, The Christians were originally formed by three brothers; Garry, Russell and Roger Christian. The band was simply their surname with no religious connection. Along with other iconic bands, they brought a slicker, more sophisticated soul sound to the charts at the end of that heady decade.
Renowned for an a capella sound they were to become the UK’s most popular soul act. The band’s frontman and lead singer Garry Christian became the group’s unique selling point with his distinctive look and velvet-smooth soulful tones.
Now Garry Christian is back on the road, still sporting the Ray-Bans, the incredibly rich voice and the string of songs that magically made a million couples fall in love.
They play Eric’s on Mathew Street on November 26. “Being from Liverpool it never stops being a total pleasure to play in front of a home crowd,” Garry explains. “This band set up is tighter than ever and we’ve added a twist to some of the old songs.
Expect the hits including: Harvest For The World, Words, Hooverville, For
Their set list also includes the recent single Where do the Children Play with the best endorsement ever by Cat Stevens (Yusuf) saying it was ‘better than his own version’.
