The
Pilgrims were ground-breakers within the field of Christian music, being
the first real Christian rock group. Their priority was evangelism and their
lyrics are often hard-hitting. Their musical style followed the secular
trendsetters of their day and went through 3 stages, with appropriate changes
in line-up...
The
Pilgrims live again!
40 years after their heyday
this new CD was remastered in California from original 1960's recordings.
They never played in the USA, but Americans lapped up this 21 track
treat ("they really rocked" - Ugly Things magazine
#22).

clips from the CD. These sample clips are in mono. The CD is remastered
in stereo.
The early period - Chris King (vocals),
Don Sanders (lead guitar), Derrick Phillips (rhythm guitar & backing
vocals), John Hubbard (bass guitar & backing vocals), Ian Wilkie
(Drums)
The middle period - John Hubbard (vocals &
lead guitar), Derrick Phillips (vocals & rhythm guitar), Don
Sanders (bass guitar), Ian Wilkie (drums and some vocals)
We have not yet located quality recordings from
the middle period. It was a busy time and we just didn't get into
a studio. We have located some tapes from live shows, but they are
too noisy and offer little scope for cleaning up - we'll keep searching!
The late period - Tony Goodman (vocals,
lead guitar & harmonica), Ian Wilkie (Drums), Don Sanders (bass
guitar), Derrick Phillips (rhythm guitar)
