RAVE IN THE NAVE 2008

'Four Kornerz'

Our headline band this year is made up of four brothers - Deji (25), TJ (23), Vidal (21) and Daniel (19) who started out as musicians and quickly combined that with their natural singing gift. That fusion of stunning vocals and talented musicianship comes across in their energetic and exhilarating stage presentations.

It's their varied repertoire of musical influences that enables them to appeal to a wide cross-section audience. Sounds embraced by the band include soul, jazz, funk, rock, R&B and traditional Nigerian rhythms from their homeland.

With a passion and fresh energy, their electric soul sound has been wowing audiences all over the UK and Europe.

'Collective'

This all-girl Christian band is not only performing at Rave in the Nave but also visiting secondary schools in the area to share their faith and promote this year's event. Schools being visited by 'Collective' include Bottisham, Soham, Ely, Cambridge and Huntingdon. Their music has been likened to 'Girls Aloud' and their dance numbers are particularly popular.

'Empire Nation'

EmpireNation are a four piece Christian Indie-Rock band. They hit the music scene in spring 2007, with a powerful new mix of contemporary music and worship.

Growing up with bands like Delirious and YFriday, EmpreNation have set out to bridge the gap between secular styles and modern worship, taking influence from bands such as The Killers, Editors and Hard-fi but adding their own unique style, giving a rare insight to the future of the Christian music scene. EmpireNation are currently unsigned but are already turning heads across the world.

Ed, Sam, Mark and SammyD have now locked their fate on a mission to change the outlook of worship for the younger generation.
