Kendrick's Coming to Clifton

There’s a great opportunity to meet with, and learn from, one of the country’s most popular composers and performers when Graham Kendrick comes to Clifton Cathedral in Bristol on Saturday 4 March. The special event is entitled ‘Graham Kendrick - sharing his music and the stories behind it’.

The composer of the popular ‘Shine, Jesus Shine’ and many other inspiring Christian songs will be leading a workshop and master class from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm. Open to all musicians, singers and anyone with an interest in learning more about music, the workshop will take place in the acoustically vibrant Cathedral and provide a rare opportunity to share some of Graham’s musical insights.

The concert begins at 7.30 pm and is sure to include many of Graham’s well-known songs which recently saw him voted, by Songs of Praise viewers, as one on the nation’s all-time favourite hymn writers.

Graham is returning to Clifton Cathedral following his well-received performing and presenting role in the BBC’s Advent television series ‘Stranger in the manger?’ which featured two live broadcast’s from Bristol’s unique Catholic Cathedral which were aired on BBC One and seen across the globe on BBC World.

Graham Kendrick said: “I’m really looking forward to returning to Bristol - it was a great way to spend Christmas morning! I hope people from across the West Country will be able to come to Clifton’s wonderful Cathedral and take part in what promises to be an enjoyable and worthwhile day.”

Gill McLorinan, from Clifton Cathedral’s Music Department, is the event’s organiser and is delighted the Cathedral can attract performers of Graham’s calibre.
