Revelation ...

... is our church worship band. The band plays on the first Sunday of each month at our service of Family Worship at St Cedd's Church. In church services, we provide accompaniment for the congregational singing, with the sax and/or cornet providing the instrumental lead.

We also play on special occasions, including our annual Summer Fete. In September 2007, we performed a special concert in St Cedd's church and raised over £650 for church funds and the charity Harvest Help. This year (2008), our September concert raised £434 for church funds and The Friends of Essex Churches.

Listen to some our music by clicking on the following links: Layla; Sylvia; Great Gig in the Sky; Everybody Wants to Rule the World; She's Not There; Oye Como Va; Wonderful Tonight; Just The Way You Are; Wipe Out! Rocking All Over the World.

Occasionally, we play some of this secular music at the end of our church services!

September 2007 Concert

On 15th September 2007, Revelation performed a concert at St Cedd's Church in aid of church funds and in support of Harvest Help, a development charity which helps poor farmers in Africa. Over 100 people came to the concert and a total of £665 was raised. Half of the money raised went to support Harvest Help and the other half went to help pay for new chairs in St Cedd's Church.

The Concert was written up in the Thurrock Gazette. Click here for the article from their archive.
