Dove 54 (1978)
Achor, the North London group which put together these albums, got some friends together and did yet another one. The music is very much in the tradition of the previous albums: good, straightforward Christian folk with an emphasis on songs taken directly from the Scriptures. And the benefits of that (esp. with Scripture memorisation) cannot be underestimated, especially since that practice of the “Jesus Music” era (it appeared on both Protestant and Catholic albums) has sadly gone out of fashion.
The singers:
- Alice Charles
- Mavis Ford
- Sue Martin
- Claire White
- Irene Wilkie
- Ann Woodroffe
