“In the secular scene at the moment, it’s the less you wear the more attractive you seem, whereas with BlushUK and even with our dance moves, there’s no provocative element within that or with our dressing- no belly no legs kind of thing” Nic explained. “
BlushUK's music, image and message is making an impact as they are inundated with requests and currently minister to over 20 high schools every year, reaching thousands of young people annually with a message of hope, dignity and self-respect to teenagers inundated with sexually explicit material daily.
“But
BlushUK's Lucy [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Nic and Jess are much more than ‘trendy’ pop princesses, the girl group are modern day missionaries to teenagers across Britain.
Alongside the usual band activities like performing at music festivals and releasing a debut album Sunshine, an integral part of the group's activities is their outreach placements in secondary schools as part of The Message youth charity organisation.
However, behind every successful pop concert they perform, there are always a team of Christian counsellors who teal the ground, so to speak, for BlushUK to come in and sow seeds [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and afterwards the workers, who are part of the Christians in Schools Trust (CIST), continue their weekly meetings with the kids as part of the ongoing Christian presence in the schools.
Nic agrees stating “If we came out doing what is similar to Steps now [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it wouldn’t work because that is not what the kids are listening to. If you want to reach a certain audience, you’ve got to know what they like and produce something that sounds similar to get them interested, but when they realise what’s in the content [of our music,] that’s when they find out how different we are.”
BlushUK Spread the Gospel
“After the gigs we go around chatting to the kids that have decided that they want to get to know this God-person we’ve been talking about, so a lot of them are absolutely buzzing and afterwards the atmosphere is amazing,” says Jess.
BlushUK specialise in edgy pop and RnB and keep their ear to the ground musically in order to keep sounding fresh to their young audiences.
The History and Music of BlushUK
Jess explains “the newest girl band out there are the Pussy Cat Dolls, and they are more harder edged- so we’ve made our latest EP with a more edgier sound because of what we enjoy listening to and mainly because of what our target audience are listening to as well- our inspiration is what is going on in the charts.”
“As an all-girl group, we target secondary school-aged teen girls” explains Lucy, the longest-standing member of the band after two line-up changes. “Young girls look up to artistes like Britney Spears or Beyonce, so in the Christian scene it’s really good to have a similar level of role model to look up to for them.”
Fifteen years since The Message’s CEO Andy Hawthorn’s dream of taking the gospel to young people in Manchester, BlushUK have taken over from where premier Christian dance group The Tribe left off to become the charity’s flagship schools band that go around the Greater Manchester area introducing God to media-savvy but gospel-poor teenagers.
We dress in a really respectful way to tell people that you can look gorgeous as a female whatever your age but you don’t have to show yourself off in order to do that. You can be classy and gorgeous at the same time.”
