Description

The Christians

Uppermill Civic Hall, Oldham, OL3 6AE

Friday 29 October  2021 7pm -  £22 plus booking fee

Described as "the Temptations in ripped jeans ......" by one rock critic, the Liverpool band's infectious melodies and warm harmonies had a deep emotional undercurrent. Feeding on accusations, protest, despair and even self-doubt, their "socially aware soul" made a big impact on the complacent music scene of the late 80s and is still relevant today.

Their first five singles all made the Top 40 in Britain, and their debut album The Christians entered the UK Albums Chart at number 2. It eventually sold over a million copies. Their second album went to number one. They will be playing their hit singles Forgotten Town, Ideal World, Born Again, Harvest for the World, What’s in a Word, Hooverville, Words, Father, The Bottle and more. What's not to like, this really will be a night to remember in our brilliantly atmospheric civic hall.

We will also have Manchester legendary DJ Dave Sweetmore keeping the dancefloor full with tunes from across the board, you can be sure of loads of 80's bangers.
