Mention of DC Talk in the mailout today reminded me of two stories I've told before on here but which I'll never tell of relaying again and again.

I went to Bury C of E High School and we often had assemblies given the odd - sometimes very odd - special guest. One of these was a group from Manchester called the World Wide Message Tribe, who came to spread the gospel via the medium of techno. They actually proved rather popular:

Our headmaster lived in Oldham and he went to the same church as John Lees from Barclay James Harvest. He invited John in who gave a one man show to an unappreciative bunch of 11 to 16 year olds who sniggered as he la-la-ed his way through one song. I quite liked it, but do you think I was ever going to admit that in the peer pressure ridden world of high school when it was safer to say you liked 2 Unlimited? Not a chance.
