#ArchiveSunday - The Christians on the very first Later with Jools Holland, August 1992, performing Ray Charles' Rockin' Chair Blues...Jools budged me out of my comfy piano stool for this song, and I was demoted to "keyboard 2nd in command", on menial single-finger synth/organ duty! 🙂

Album cover for The Last mad Surge of Youth by Henry Priestman

“…compares favourably to Ray Davies. These are heart-warming self-assured songs from a man confidently declaring that he’s not done yet”

8/10

Uncut Magazine

“Clever crafted songwriting…full of proper tunes & grown-up words…a clever, wily,  literate writer”

****

R2 Magazine

“A lovingly crafted album… his fourth act might be his best”

****

Classic Pop Magazine

“It’s all bound by Priestman’s songwriterly craft: some things age cannot whither”
