Welcome to our album!

Most churches are extremely busy over the Christmas holiday; but few will have received a request from a local band to record an entire album on site, turning the pews into a half-decent impression of Abbey Road studios for two days. Rock and Roll Angels is a band born in church, namely St Michael and All Angels, which perches on top of Windmill Hill with glorious views across the city of Bristol. Shaun McCrindle, who forms one half of the songwriting team for the band, was inspired to create Rock n Roll Angels after a solo performance in the church in 2016.  Performing songs written on his late father-in-law's Spanish acoustic guitar in the resonant, intimate acoustic of this Victorian church lit a fuse for Shaun to record a whole album's worth of material in this special space. We have subsequently played together as a band in the church on several occasions in the past year and have been able to share our songs with the local community. Jump forward to Monday
