THE CHRISTIANS

Renowned for an endless string of soulful yet socially aware hits ...

Forgotten Town, Ideal World, Born Again, Harvest for the World, Whats in a Word, Hooverville, Words, Father, The Bottle and many more The Christians enjoyed huge acclaim in the late 80s and early 90s both in the UK and Europe and often confused people with their band name (in fact just the brothers surname with absolutely no religious connotation!)

Still headed by enigmatic lead singer Garry Christian (who very much deserves the Daily Mirror’s description of him as having ‘one of the finest voices in pop) who has only gained in vocal stature (and wit) over the years! the band are enjoying a revival currently touring successfully in the UK and Europe.

Currently embarking on a huge UK Tour playing their well known back catalogue and one or two favourites selected from newer albums.

Catch them on tour and find out why Chris Evans said ‘it was the best gig I’ve ever been to’ www.thechristianslive.com

It’s a great place to visit anyway, let alone over 60 great blues bands all playing FREE ADMISSION. We’ve got country blues old school blues rock blues all blues, all day all over town. And thirdly it’s a bash, a celebration a festival of the blues and there will be 100s and 100s of people looking for the best blues they can.

Steeleye Span

Saturday 13th April 2019 ‘Space Oddity’. ‘Suspicious Minds’. ‘Pinball Wizard’. ‘Whole Lotta Love’. ‘Come Together’ – 1969 could easily be said to be a vintage year for music, the end of a decade that changed the world and the introduction to one that would prove equally inspirational. It would also see the birth of a band that would start as an idea to electrify traditional music and would go on to become one of the most enduring stories in the folk world and beyond. Fifty years on and Steeleye Span are set to mark this incredible milestone with a tour that will celebrate a band that are still as creative and vital now as they were all those years ago. Led as ever by the iconic Maddy Prior, the latest seven piece line-up will draw on the group’s incredible history to provide a night of favourites and surprises from down the decades.

Book Now at: https://revelationashford.co.uk/whats-on/steeleye-span/ 7:30pm to 10:30pm (Doors 6:45pm) Early Bird: £25 / £21 (U16) Door: £29 / £25 (U16) Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult.
