The Christians Live - Ideal World at Signature Live Sessions

Watch Liverpool band The Christians perform 'Ideal World' at The Shankly Hotel Liverpool, as part of an exclusive Signature Live Sessions gig.
Formed in 1985, The Christians saw international acclaim in the late 1980s and early 1990s with legendary hits including ‘Ideal World’, ‘Harvest for the World’ and ‘Words’. Described as “gritty-centred songs in a sugary vocal shell”, their music blends infectious melodies and warm harmonies with a deep emotional undercurrent.
The band’s name came from the surname of the three brothers originally in the line-up and was also, coincidentally, their songwriter, guitarist and keyboard player Henry Priestman’s middle name.
The Liverpool band released their debut, self-titled album in 1987 , entering the album chart at No.2 with Top 30 singles including ‘Forgotten Town’, ‘Hooverville’ and ‘Born Again’. Following the success, they toured major British cities.
In 1990 the band’s second album, ‘Colour’, went to No.1 in the album chart with hits including ‘Words’, ‘I Found Out’ and ‘Greenbank Drive’.
Today, after eight albums, the band continue to tour extensively in the UK, Spain and France.
Signature Living’s Signature Live Sessions are unique live music performances in Liverpool, giving you the chance to see Liverpool’s latest and greatest artists live on the Eden rooftop at The Shankly Hotel every month.
Curated and presented by The Farm’s Keith Mullin, we bring together the city’s most influential musicians alongside our brightest new stars for an evening of Signature live music and Liverpool bands.
Stay tuned for in-depth artist interviews in lavish hotel suites, extravagant rockstar behaviour and all kinds of hot tub shenanigans.
