<\/span><\/div>\n

Had a request from Paul Purchase<\/b> for info on his uncle’s band Messiah Trip. If anyone has further information, please get in contact.<\/p>\n

The information we have is limited and uncertain but we believe the band<\/p>\n

Operated in the Coventry area mid to late 90’s
Played the Tic Tac \/ Colloseum
There was a tape of their songs
Possibly from Nuneaton and the guitarist was possibly a gent named Matt Flood
they released 3 songs in total
they were an indie type band,
One of the songs was a soft rock ballad, i know the first part of the lyrics if that is helpful to you !!!
“birds sing in a night dream
past the porecious of a tree sing
stroke the wind, hold it back
as the night draws oh so blind
only she knows how to be free
i cant tell by the way she breaths
she walks to me with her slow stepping”
The uncle’s name is Simon Purchase and i believe he was singer \/ guitarist but not lead singer, he only sung on one track i thinki ‘each step a thousand dreams pass in my mind “<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/p>\n

Paul has had some more feedback today –<\/p>\n

“I knew them all well and played with Joe Wilkes in a couple of bands, “Loki (Pre Messiah trip (With Eddie the Viking \ud83d\ude00 ), and Messiah trip when it first started.<\/p>\n

I still have cassettes around somewhere and other cassettes from pre\/post Messiah trip. In fact I probably still have set lists, etc,<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
