Live on BBC Cambridge from Secret Garden Party Festival...

Along with 20,000 other people we're recovering from a crazy weekend at Secret Garden Party festival. We arrived on Thursday to head straight for The Living Room stage (our favourite stage of the festival, it has to be said!) to perform live for BBC Cambridge. Ellie and myself set up to perform as a duet and waited for the single to start as we couldn't hear the presenter our end. We performed "What Am I If I'm Not Even Dust?" and our cover of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart". You can still hear them online here for the next couple of days, and thanks to Kerry for including us in the show:

We then got ready for our full band show later that night. Band members were still arriving and it looked uncertain if we'd all be onsite in time as the queues to get in the festival grew and grew. With seconds to spare we all made it and bashed our way through a frenetic set. We returned to The Living Room again on Saturday after to perform an acoustic set to a burnt out but very receptive audience, treating them to a rendition of "Feed The Birds" from Mary Poppins amongst Revere's more intimate material.
The last performance of the festival was more impromptu however, as I performed for half an hour on the Folk In A Box "stage". Basically it was a solo set performed inside a pitch black box, performing one song at a time to a single person, and was perhaps one of the most enjoyable gigs of my life! It was the brainchild of one Dom Coyote and I may well be doing more of these super intimate sets in the future....

Q Magazine - Track Of The Day...

Q Magazine have selected our new single, We Won't Be Here Tomorrow, as their Track Of The Day on the Q website, describing it as "an uplifting, joyous trumpet led crescendo which perfectly showcases the orchestral aspects of the group and also their ability to create a great chorus."

REVERE on The Word magazine cover CD...

Our new single, We Won't Be Here Tomorrow is featured on the Cover CD of The Word magazine's August issue:

"It's big, it's loud, it's got glockenspiels on it and it is a mighty call to abandon care and live now, for tomorrow we may be dead, or at least tied up on a training course somewhere. Revere are an eight-piece band from London with a commendable taste in non-core instrumentation and dramatic arrangements. This is their first single and we are delighted to help bring it to a wider audience."
