radioWhy?, Split Level, The Electrics, Tourniquet for German festival
TWO LONG retired and much loved British Christian bands are momentarily reforming for a German rock festival. Legends Of Rock in Ennepetal (near Dusseldorf) takes place on 24th February and featured on the bill are manic folk rockers Why? (with original members Nick and Ant Parker and with violin player Jane Robson flying in for the gig from the Cayman Islands) and alternative rockers Split Level (featuring Adrian Thompson - vocals, guitar; Gary Preston - bass; and Rob Craner - drums).
Other attractions at Legends Of Rock will be roots rockers The
Electrics fronted by Sammy Horner with the band being joined by Allan
Hewitt (accordion), who played on The Electrics' first album 'Visions
And Dreams'. Also booked for the event are America's Tourniquet, Bride
and a Guardian come-back gig.

We've been there at the concert in Ennepetal. It was great to see all these bands live on stage who formed some of the 'christian soundtrack of our youth'. Even some of the younger ones (all these guys under the age of 30) seemed to enjoy the folky, rocky, wild sounds of Why?, The Electrics and Split Level. As much as the heavier rhythms of Trust, Golgatha, Bride oder Tourniquet.
Thanks to all the bands who played there and also for Detlev and Martina Westermann and their team who made the concert possible.
