As you may know, we in the Vicarage are massive fans of the Australian kids’ Christian singer and all-round-fun-guy Colin Buchanan. He’s coming to the UK this March and his tour details have just got themselves their own website.
His shows are full of high energy fun – like an edition of Tiswas, with Christian songs and bible memory rhymes and loads of jokes. His music is varied and interesting – not the naff pap you often get with songs designed for kids. The shows would be most suitable for kids aged 12 and under but we grown-ups love them too. Come with money for the cds, dvds and books you’ll want to buy afterwards.
Edit: The Good Book Company have Twittered me since I wrote the post with a link to their site where you can get Colin’s stuff before March comes along. It’s even better when you know the songs and can sing along!
We are so excited about this. It’s not listed on that website, but we think he’s going to be at Dundonald church near Wimbledon. The Good Book Company think so too (http://www.thegoodbook.co.uk/bookings/details?id=55).
It’s going to be a late night for the kids though.
Our tickets are already booked – more for the grown ups than the boys 🙂
Great bloke, bound to be a fantastic tour. However, I wouldn’t take a 12 year old and at the last concert of his that we went to, 10 year olds were feeling about to grow out of what he does.
Certainly not suitable for a 12 year old at secondary school- much mire suitable for primary age children and I’d even think hard before taking a year 6 child to see him.
Hi Sarahf. You may be right about 12 year olds… Our oldest is 8 so I’m not entirely tuned into that age, but I was thinking of a very sweet older sister I know from round the corner here who’s at secondary school. I could imagine her there with her younger siblings and enjoying it very much. So it maybe depends on personality a bit.
