Rockers can quench their thirst for infectious grooves and

harmony-laden hooklines at an Oxford church on June 27.

Quench, who exploded onto the UK scene in April 2001, will be raising the roof at St Aldate's, for one night only.

Their gig follows the success of a concert held last month, when Phatfish rocked the medieval building.

Church leaders are looking forward to an uplifting night of energizing alternative music, and are hoping to make gigs a regular feature of the church, as part of a plan to open up the church to the wider community.

Rector Charlie Cleverly said: "We want to show the church is willing to engage with modern life and culture. Quench bridge the gap, as they are a Christian band who know how to play hard-hitting, high quality rock music."

The Quench gig takes place less than a week after The Mojo Collective, an Oxford-based 70s band, made their debut performance at a lively Midsummer's Ball in St Aldate's to raise funds for Tearfund Iraq.

Quench tickets cost £5. Doors open at 7pm and tickets are £5.
