The Reverend is delighted to inform you that his bold new single ELIZABETH – composed in honour of Her Majesty the Queen’s 83rd Birthday - is OUT NOW through iTunes etc.

ELIZABETH is backed with HAND FOOT MOUTH, the Reverend’s response to the Swine Flu panic. Music doesn’t get more infectious than this – spread the dis-ease and download your copy now.

I believe that everyday the world become a little less ugly because someone writes a poem, composes music , plays a tune. This is proof that there are angels in the world. Thanks for being an angel!
