THEIR lead singer has one of the most soulful voices around and the band has been responsible for a string of classic hits.

Next month The Christians will be bring their live show to Sale's Waterside Arts Centre and having seen this band before at the same venue, I can say with some conviction this is a gig not to be missed.

The velvety vocals of Garry Christian can be heard on a range of timeless numbers like Forgotten Town, Ideal World, Born Again and Harvest for the World.

* The Christians are appearing at the Waterside Arts Centre in Sale on February 20 at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from 0161 912 5616 or watersideartscentre.co.uk.
