AUK Chain Gang: Clarence Carter “Slip Away”

February 27, 2023 Andrew Raw 0
Alastair Fotheringham’s choice for the AUK Chain Gang last week, Paul Kelly’s ‘Meet Me In The Middle Of The Air’, deals with meeting God in “the air” after death. However, Christians also have faith that they […]

Live Review: Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes + Riley Catherall, The Town Hall, Kirton in Lindsey – 25th July 2026
