Here are some sounds to give you a flavour of the Band

Please note the sounds on this page are often studio out takes and soundboard recordings, and as such the balance between the instruments is not as you would hear at a live gig. Being live there are also mistakes and off stage noises, that you probably would not normally notice. We have included these recordings because we believe they capture that wonderful spirit that manifests itself at Revival gigs.

With some of the larger files we have not included a Wav file because it would be quicker for you to download an MP3 player from www.winamp.com and download the smaller MP3 files you will then be able hear the songs in high quality stereo. To play these files download them to your hard disk first. See notes

Rock & Pop Meets Barbershop

On Saturday 21st March 1998 Revival and the Lace City Singers staged a concert at Nottingham's Albert Hall, along with MC ex-BBC presenter Graham Percy. The 48 members of the Lace City Singers, and Revival put together a show that will never be forgotten by anyone who attended. The two acts put on a unique programme of two very different musical styles that worked magically to provide a musical treat for one and all.

Title	Notes
Ken/lace City Put Your Head On My Shoulder 1mb	Part of the Lace City Singers second set featured a "duet" between 48 wonderful ladies ranging in ages from 16 to 60 and our Ken.
Can you Feel The Love Tonight The Theme From The Lion king MP3 4mb	This very successful song by Elton John & Tim Rice gets the Geoff Ellis treatment to create a bridge between Pop and Barbershop. This is a large file but well worth downloading as anyone in the audience that night will tell you. This was a "one off" performance that surpassed the excitement of the previous evening when Revival and the Lace City Singers sang Teenager In Love on Central TV News.
Living Doll MP3 2.2mb	A favourite with Revival audiences for many years, the Lace City Singers got behind this one and really made it happen. What this recording can't express is the joy and enthusiasm that the girls put behind this rendition.

From The Vaults

Over the years the band has dabbled with recording studios. They never feel that they have managed to create the same quality of sound that they achieve every night on stage. However as some of these tracks show, they have their own unique way of interpreting some of the classic songs of the sixties. Here you will find tracks that Revival no longer play live or have only done off stage.

Title
Yes I Will 2.5mb	An out take from the "Pieces Of the Past" recordings. This Hollies song features Geoff Ellis singing lead with six other vocalists singing different harmony parts.
Devoted To You 2.0mb	Another out take from the Pieces Of the Past recordings. This Everly Brothers song is a duet between Ken and Geoff Ellis.
The Air That I Breathe 3.1mb	Again a Hollies song from the Pieces Of the Past sessions. This song is one of the band's favourites. Ironically titled, try and hold the last note at the end of each chorus and see if you run out of breathe.
