Christina Kulukundis back at the Old Baptist Chapel Alt-country singer songwriter Christina Kulukundis will be back at the Old Baptist Chapel in July, following a sell-out gig in the town last month. Christina, who lives near Tewkesbury, said: “Our last show at the Old Baptist Chapel was a great success! “We had a sell-out crowd, and a terrific atmosphere. The Chapel looked wonderful and was full of people on both levels. “Lots of people brought their children too as it was a great opportunity to expose them to live music in a safe and beautiful setting.” Christina’s music is folk-country with an impressive line-up of musicians; Christina Kulukundis (vocals), Ben Church (guitar, banjo), Pete Bryden (bass), Pete Miln (Violin), Rob Peate (Piano) and Max Roache (Drums and percussion). Christina Kulukundis is half English and half Greek, and although she was born and raised in London, she spent summers at her grandparents place in Upstate New York, a mountainous region of the East Coast of America. It was here the country sound started to seep in. She came back to the UK in 2006, and released her first record to critical claim. It got radio play on Radio 2 and Radio 4 plays and achieved a coveted four stars from Mojo Magazine. The album was also BBC Radio Scotland’s Record of the Week, followed by a live spot on BBC radio’s Loose Ends. Inspired by family and rural life on the lower slopes of Bredon Hill, she released her second album in 2015. The show at the Old Baptist Chapel in Tewkesbury will be on Saturday 15th July.
