Dave Daniels, mine genial host at Ye Olde Churchill's Pub, started out in show-business 50-year agone this March 17, booking the likes of "Jimmy Page & His Band of Joy" into clubs in the north of England.  (Long before Led Zeppelin was a twinkle in anybody's eye).>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Coincidentally, this date also marks the birth of the Welsh shepherd boy who was kidnapped by Irish slavers and inflicted his enduring revenge for the snatching by destroying their native religion and converting the whole boiling of 'em to Christianity.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>So, let's deem this a St. Dave's & St. Pat's Day Bash.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rock legend Charlie Pickett will be on the slide SG.  The fabulous Chris DeAngelis is on bass.  Hammering out the backbeat on drums is "El Torito," a/k/a Alexander Milne.  And yours truly gets to hone his rock 'n' roll chops on the Les Paul.  STOP PRESS BULLETIN!!!  Diane Ward has promised to join us and belt out a few numbers!!!  Word has it that the Camacho Triplets and Graham Drout from IKO-IKO will also be there.  (Hmmmm, some kinda jam threatens . . .) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>We will be playing a mix of oldies but goodies (our own and other peoples') and new tunes we have written recently.  Just brutal, straight-forward, much-too-loud, three-chord rock with attitude.  We promise not to play anything remotely Irish – But there will be lots of the best (and cheapest) Guinness in town and Churchill’s bar food – especially their fish-n’-chips - is stellar.  (For them as fancies it, Dave usually does an Erse boil-up for St. Paddy’s, too). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Details at www.churchillspub.com and here's a link, straight to the beer list http://www.churchillspub.com/beer.html >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>See you there?  It's gonna be a whole bunch of fun!  (Yes, I know it's the middle of the week.  Just hurt a little on Thursday).

The Revs would like to thank all of you who made our first show up at Churchill's on Saturday night such a blast!  Our gratitude to Rat Bastard for mixing the sound to that fine solar-plexus-punch-overload that every band at Churchill's strives for.  Thanks to all our local friends who came out to support us - many of whom left clad in our red-on-black "Revelators" stencil T-shirts.  Alexander thundered like a jackhammer.  Charlie wailed.  Chris grooved.  And I remembered most of the chords and some of the lyrics.  Old friends like Cortland Joyce - in from Nashville - getting on stage to sing with us (shown here being ably assisted by Rusty Hammond - ex of the DT Martyrs) made the experience complete. 

And here’s a couple of video clips from an intrepid soul who dared to brave the PA at close range: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiZyoIA5kUc and  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dr95-qiwM0

Thank You!  Thank You!  Thank You!
