This is the web site of
crImson connecTIon, a Liverpool contemporary
Christian band who from ~1980 thru that decade played in churches, clubs,
coffee bars and colleges throughout the UK. They formed some time after
the Crossbeats, another Liverpool
group, had folded.
This was a part-time ministry, and the band asked
only for travel expenses if an organisation could afford it. The line-up
varied, but essentially consisted of lead guitar, rhythm guitars (up to two),
bass, congas/bongos and a drum machine.
After the
Crossbeats folded, two of the group
continued playing together as a duo (Eddie Boyes and
Sam Pennington), and they were later joined by others to become
crImson connecTIon.
The personel were: Eddie
Boyes (lead vocals, rhythm and bass), Sam Pennington (rhythm and bass), Paul
Lalgee (congas, bongos and other percussion), Peter Davies (lead guitar) and
Steve Bray (rhythm and bass). The work of the band was predominantly that
of outreach and evangelism.
Information is sparse, as a limited number
of personal diaries/journals are available; much information about bookings has
therefore been lost. There is a bookings page on this site, but it is
mostly gaps! We would be grateful for any information others can
supply.
There is however a page of the songs
(including the words, and a chords page) that
crImson connecTIon played over the years, as well
as a list of available recordings on CD, many of
which are available as MP3 downloads.
