Playing on Sunday? The Lords day at the Lords festival!
That show will indeed be a very 'spiritual' experience  ;)

I don't think they're consider a Christian band no, but some of the guys might be. What is a 'Christian band' anyway?
I've never really thought about it. Some of the lyrics suggest they could be...

My best friend at Secondary School was a Christian & I know he went to Greenbelt a couple of times.
I wonder how the organisers of Greenbelt choose the line-up? Do bands have to somehow prove that they are religious to play at the festival? Don't know...
Just so long as the Jacket keep on making the same magical music they have been it's all good.

Religion is a personal thing for me, as long as one's faith doesn't encourage violence I don't care what people practice or preach.

I must confess though, that I did allow myself a smile when I saw that a band called The Magic of Jesus are playing on the same day  :)

yeah, i guess i meant-  "are THEY christian?" i read some article saying "what a wonderful man" was about jesus. the second half of the lyrics do sound like they could be. that kind of startled me; it was just unexpected.
