Bryn Haworth (born 29 July 1948) is a British Christian singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pioneer of Jesus music in mainstream rock. Born in Blackburn, Lancashire, UK, he has released some twenty-two albums and several singles since the 1970s as well as guesting as guitarist on many other albums by rock and folk artists. He continues to tour in the UK, appearing mostly at smaller venues, Christian centres and at prisons. He has also appeared three times at the UK Greenbelt festival. His chosen instruments include guitar (particularly slide or bottleneck guitar) and mandolin. He recorded sessions for the John Peel show on BBC Radio 1 in 1974, 1975 and 1976,〔(BBC Radio 1 Keeping It Peel )〕 and made two television appearances on BBC Two's The Old Grey Whistle Test. Also in the 1970s, Haworth appeared on the weekly ITV television show "Pop Gospel", presented by Berni Flint. Together with wife Sally, Haworth has engaged in extensive musical and evangelical work in prison settings.〔(A day in the life of - Bryn & Sally Haworth )〕 Haworth has his own website〔(The Bryn Haworth Website )〕 and is featured in the current Crossrythms artists catalogue.〔(Cross Rhythms Website )〕 A sample of Haworth's music, together with a list of forthcoming concert dates, may be found on his MySpace Music page.〔(Bryn Haworth MySpace Music page )〕 A 2003 review of ''The Gap'' album concluded: "He's largely unknown, but those who follow virtuosos know about this guy".〔(Review of ''The Gap'' at banophernalia.com )〕 John Ingham, for Sounds magazine, wrote:
==Early years== Bryn Haworth was born in 1948 in Blackburn, Lancashire, UK and was brought up in the nearby town of Darwen. His father was a maths teacher and he attended the secondary school where his father taught, Darwen Technical College〔(Bryn Haworth interview at crossrythms.co.uk )〕 His main musical influence, however, was his mother, who would often buy the latest 78 releases by such artists as Elvis Presley, Jackie Wilson and Little Richard as well as classical records 〔Chatterton., Mark. (2004), "Let The days Go By"/ "Sunny Side of the Street", double CD, GOTT Records GOTT 0003 (sleeve notes)〕 At the age of 11 Haworth obtained his first guitar and attended lessons in classical guitar for a year. Contemporary musical influences included guitar-based groups such as The Ventures and The Shadows. While still at school, during the era of the Merseybeat groups such as The Beatles, Haworth started playing guitar himself in various local groups, including ''The Mustangs'', ''The Railroaders'' and ''The Mike Taylor Combo''.〔 His first job on leaving school was at the local paper mill, but his band-playing activities led to his dismissal. Haworth later recalled "I couldn’t get up in the morning as I’d been out late the previous night playing in a band, so something had to give." 〔 At 17 Haworth left Lancashire for London, with only a suitcase and a guitar and ended up sleeping rough at Victoria bus station. He eventually met up with members of the band Wynder K. Frog and was able to sleep on the floor of the house which the band shared.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bryn Haworth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
