BACK TO THE BAND INDEX

Had a request from Paul Purchase for info on his uncle's band Messiah Trip. If anyone has further information, please get in contact.


The information we have is limited and uncertain but we believe the band


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 "


UPDATE


Paul has had some more feedback today -

"I knew them all well and played with Joe Wilkes in a couple of bands, "Loki (Pre Messiah trip (With Eddie the Viking :D ), and Messiah trip when it first started.

I still have cassettes around somewhere and other cassettes from pre/post Messiah trip. In fact I probably still have set lists, etc,
