If you get a chance to hear them, take it, they're really good, I've seen them at Soul Survivor (twice) and at Easter people. Unfortunately they've changed their name and I can't remember what the new name is. They have a couple of Cd's out too, which you can get direct from them, they are better live, but their CD's are still very good. Unfortunately they do not have their best song on either of their CD's. Their best song is "Alive and Well", it is a really lively song which compels you to jump around singing "My Lord and Saviour, where would I be if you did not come and rescue me" and "my lord and Saviour is alive and well". Obviously reading the words won't give you the same effect as hearing them live playing really loud. The song is on a CD, it is on "Wave - Malc Garda and Friends @ Revelation", although it is not a very good recording. Hopefully they will bring out another CD with it on, I don't know why it wasn't on their last CD, when we met them at Easter People we said we wanted that song and they said don't worry a new CD will be coming out. We waited nine months and ordered it as soon as it came out, but it wasn't on there, you can only get their CD's direct from them at the moment. Their CD's are fairly cheap (about £7), but they do have less tracks on than normal ones.

Their address was (I can't guarantee if this is a current address):
Fruit
PO Box 58
Chichester
West Sussex

Sense of Adventure

Comments Tracks
This is their first CD, I wouldn't advise you to buy it unless you have heard the band live. I am not sure what it is but if you play a person the CD they tend not to like it that much, but once they've heard them live then they love the band and like the CD. Obviously this shows they are much better live, but if you listen to the CD a lot you might get to like it just as much as people who've seen the band.

Once again whilst this is a good CD it is not one that everyone immediately takes to. Perhaps if the band were to put their best song on people would take to them more quickly. Having said that the songs are good and well written, it's just that they lack the power and emotion of "Alive and Well".
