The best music


The best music
World Wide Message Tribe
	Billboard magazine called The World Wide Message Tribe music "as club-credible and stylistically diverse as it is lyrically earnest." No other band has impacted the lives of thousands of unchurched school kids like The World Wide Message Tribe. Very few Christian artists are able to present the Gospel in such a relevant way. Although they have been formed to minister to Manchester school kids, their music has become popular with audiences across Europe and America. All across the world doors are opening for The World Wide Message Tribe. 'The Real Thing', a song from their album 'Jumping In the House of God' landed on number 2 in the club charts in America.
London Community Gospel Choir
	The London Gospel Community Choir is simply the top Gospel band who in recent years have tightened up their group and offer the very best in British music. Since 1982, when Rev Bazil Meade brought together the UK's finest gospel voices, audiences all over the world have been in thrall to their unique mix of breathtaking vocals, inspirational songs and exceptional musicianship. In the UK they are constantly touring and performing - in every theatre, hall or club from Belfast to Southend. Few performing artists have the sheer breadth of appeal that this choir has. Whether they're in front of a sold-out, funked-up crowd at the Jazz Café or an equally packed (but rather more sedate) audience at one of their many Royal Variety Performances, they always deliver and always inspire.
Brown Bear Music
	"...grooves, loud guitars, atmospherics and energy flowing together to reate a tangible, intimate and passionate worship experience" Brown Bear Music emerged from the alternative worship and youth church movement of the early 90's. Formed by songwriters Ian Mizen and Andy Pressdee, BBM are based at The Bear, a congregation of Ichthus Christian Fellowship, in South East London. They regularly lead worship at The Bear, at various celebrations around Ichthus and other event such as Spring Harvest, and yet they are equally at home performing in the club, colleges and universities around London. Through various twists and turns, BBM have developed a unique sound and style, as well as an uncompromising approach to worship. Their three albums (My Soul Thirsts For You / To Know You / Amazed) have all received excellent reviews and clearly show the progression in their music and songwriting. The bands original vision for 'evangelistic worship' is still at the heart of all they do, and they have a genuine expectation that the best is yet to come.
WHY?
	Long time favourites at London Weekend, Ant, Steve, Jamie and Andy (L to R in photo) will be bringing their own unimitable brand of folk thrash to the NEC at BREAKOUT this year. On their brand new album HAPPY... "A fresh line up of session musicians, a fantastically talented producer (Craig McLeish), the finacial and professional backing of a top class record company and a slightly revamped sound are the ingredients of, what is predicted to be, a massively successful album. HAPPY has managed to be distinctly WHY? but at the same time having a far more commercial sound. HAPPY will make you laugh, cry and be totally confused all at the same time. HAPPY contains a mixture of a few serious songs, a lot of fun songs (but with serious messages, honest!), an instrumental and even a hidden track of out-takes. HAPPY is a must for everyone wherever or whoever you are now."

For the past two years, he has been living in Kent where he works as a primary school. Simon says he is very honoured and excited to have the opportunity to present the MAYC and Alliance Music Concert at BREAKOUT.
