A night of organ music from entertainer Tony Stace, presented by the Nottingham Organ Society.
Revival is a well-known rock band from Nottingham who celebrate pop music from an era many of us will always hold close to our hearts; memorable tunes ranging from the late fifties to the early seventies (with a few more well-known melodies thrown in for good measure).
The seven piece band was formed in 1990 and quickly discovered their musical tastes were shared by many other people of a certain age! So much so, the chaps quickly found themselves in demand to play an increasing number of concerts and shows all over the country.
Probably the most prestigious venues played by Revival include The London Guildhall (the week after The Queen Mother celebrated her 100th. birthday there) Wollaton Park, Nottingham Albert Hall and The Nottingham Concert Hall. The band was also pleased to appear on BBC TV for “Children in Need” in 2006, and got a mention on
Radio 2 from Wogan the same year.
Over the years, Revival has reduced in size to six members, three of which were replaced after leaving the band for health and personal reasons.
We were all very sad this year when Bryan, our original bass player, passed after a long illness. He will be remembered fondly by us all for his unique bass playing and his strong sense of humour.
