Mike Webb was born in London on 21 September 1956, and migrated to Australia at age 11 in 1967. Webb was initially well known for his appearances on Channel NWS-9 in Adelaide in the 1970s. He later became a Christian, and eventually a pastor and the South Australian state leader for the Apostolic Church Australia. == Background == Webb and his brother Keith Webb had a passion for music at a young age, which led them to their appearances and performances on local television channel NWS-9 in Adelaide. The Webb brothers initially received the "Encouragement Award" alongside Faye Nelson and Deborah Kirk on SAS 10's ''New Faces'' in 1971. This was a unique event, as it was the first occasion that three acts had received the award in the same show.〔TV Guide (SA's Fully Independent TV, Radio and Theatre Review) - 4–10 December Edition 1971〕 The Webb brothers later went on to win the grand final of the series, and became guest presenters on numerous TV Telethons, a popular form of raising funds for charity in the 1970s. They also appeared regularly on NWS 9's ''Stars of Tomorrow'' and were popular guests on Ernie Sigley's ''Adelaide Tonight'' in the 1970s. In particular, they became teen hosts on Adelaide's version of the popular television show ''Hey Hey It's Saturday'' in 1973.〔NWS-9 (Channel Nine, Adelaide, Archives) http://www.nws9.com.au〕 However, ''Hey Hey It's Saturday'' only lasted a single season before the format was changed, and within a few years the Melbourne show hosted by Daryl Sommers was syndicated throughout the Nine Network Australia Wide. The Webb brothers appeared alongside the likes of Lisa Edwards who later went on to be one of John Farnham's backing singers. In addition, the Webb brothers performed as one of the support acts for Farnham during an Australia Day concert at Memorial Drive in 1973. Their performances also included a number of "live" appearances on local radio stations. The Webb brothers formed the band Web in the late 1970s, performing at various Adelaide venues, eventually recording a number of their original songs at the ABC studios in Collinswood, showcasing their talent on ABC radio.〔ABC Radio South Australia Archives〕 Webb went on to play in numerous bands and cover acts in the Adelaide area including Stiletto, the Michael Hunter Band, No Moving Parts and The Works. 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「Mike Webb (pastor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
