JESUS RULES O.K?
An early attempt at rock gospel! (With a dash of craziness thrown in)
Smile God Loves You :-)

1 2 3 4 : Need I say more?
Children's evangelical gospel song that reflects on the idea that if a person is a Christian, then hell is not a destination they are headed towards.
He Knows You Know
A Celebration sing-a-long... later played by Salt, Bananas and Boanerges to name but a few! But this is the original :-)
Psalm150
Although Celebration used to sing this one, the version posted was a demo for a track that eventually apperaed as the first track on my 1984/5 vinyl album 'Jester Before The Throne"

Way back in the Mid 1970's, before 'Contemporary Christian' was even a genre, a group of folk in Merseyside, UK, were exploring how playing the music they liked fitted in with the things they believed.
Amongst them were a band called Celebration, who never made an album, played a few concerts (Mostly in 1977.. but the very first in 1976.. hence the name "Celebration - 1976 - revisited") and then went their different ways.
Band Members (at various times) included Tim Rawe, Paul and Dave Maylor, Alison Battey, Yvonne Bridge, Paul Winn, Kevin Mercer, Eli, Chris Knowles, Graham Marshall, Rob Fisher and myself Adrian.
Don't expect much in the way of recording quality here... it's rough and ready, recorded on the fly and is was it is... great memories of times gone by.
As said at the start... this stuff dates back to the mid-1970's. I was a new Christian, 19 years old, not sure where life was heading or even how who I was fitted in with being part of a church community.
I remember there were those who told me that Christian Rock music would never catch on and I should pursue other musical directions. These days Contemporary Christian music outsells many other genres.
Sure hope you enjoy these blasts from the past!READ MORE
