To celebrate The He Ain’t Heavy Tenth anniversary, Join the band at The Camden Assembly on the 22nd of December. Featuring many of the original singers and an eight-piece band, the event will be a charity performance.

With some songs alerted to be more fitting for the Christmas season, the eight-piece band will perform the likes of “Christmas Lie?”, Gospel classic “Baby Born Today” and “Go Where I send thee”. Adding to the Christmas spirit, songs such as “Put a Little Love” and “Love Me Still” will be performed.
