Revival
specialise in re-creating the sounds of the sixties. Although
the songs and melodies from that era still retain their own unique
magical appeal, the equipment used to make those original recordings
would not stand up to the expectations of modern audiences.
To perform these great songs live and deliver the sound that meets
these expectations, Revival has had to make an investment in equipment
that would have kept the band in food and alcohol for many years
back in the sixties.
This
investment in equipment continues on a regular basis, with hardly
a Gig passing without the Band playing spot the new gear, as each
member strives to bring that something extra to Revival's sound.
Revival's secret is simple, use authentic original instruments
and plug them in to state of the art amplification.
Below is a list of the band's
