Over the years, theREIGN’s lineup has changed on a fairly regular basis, and we have been blessed to count among our number some very talented musicians and songwriters. In spite of the changes, four of the original nine members remain with the band, and committed to our vision to share the good news of Jesus Christ through our music.
The current lineup is drawn from several churches across Hull and the surrounding area, and you can find below some background on each of the current members, as well as a summary of former members.
 DAVID COOPER: LEAD VOCAL & ACOUSTIC GUITARtheREIGN was formed when David gathered some real, live musicians to produce the sound he had in his head when writing songs. Since then he has been singer, songwriter, worship leader, guitar player, administrator and general dogsbody. >>> Click here for David’s full Bio … |
