Newlad, You're right Henry Priestman was in the band. His original birthname was Henry Christian, and must have changed his surname. He wrote ALL their succesful songs that made the charts, so he was the real talent in the Christians. First time that I heard them on the radio (Forgotten Town) I thought they were great, and very suprised that they didn't achieve as much success that they deserved. Their music was great, and the lyrics even better... Regards Max....



ps, Hull like Liverpool have also given the music world great artists, often people forget that..
