My name is Steve Price, I’m a Christian Illusionist based near Liverpool. The reason for getting in touch is because I’ve been booked to perform in a church in Hailsham on Saturday 22nd June. I’m therefore contacting other churches in the area to see if they would be interested in having me perform on either Friday 21st June or Sunday 23rd June.

You can read much more about what I do at https://christianmagician.co.uk/

There are a few formats I suggest:

1)  Up to 75 minutes of pure entertainment
2)  Up to 75 minutes of pure entertainment followed by either an interview or Q&A (an opportunity to share my faith)
3)  2 x 45 minutes. The first half is pure entertainment, the second half is “Gospel magic” (I present the Gospel using tricks and illusions)

In terms of pricing, I would usually ask £595, but for these specific dates I’m asking £395. Costs are all inclusive.

If this is of interest, or if you have any questions, please let me know. Many thanks,

Steve Price

Adrian is known for his conceptual albums such as The Passion, Alpha and Omega, Fierce Love, Song of an Exile, City of Peace, and most recently his trilogy Kintsugi, the Art of Precious Scars. He is heralded as a groundbreaking musician for his merging of styles and ability to transcend preconceived boundaries and audiences.

At the turn of the century he decided to train as a music therapist. He now practises as a Music Therapist and Arts Therapy Consultant in a variety of places in and around Bath, his home town. In November 2020, Sacristy Press published his biographical book Fierce Love, Music Leads a Lost Child Home, which has been received with overwhelmingly positive reviews. It chronicles the story of his life and music, including the genesis and further journey of The Passion.
