Paul Kennelly – <\/p>\n

“This is the new line up when Revolution became Natural Gass on July 23rd. 1969 : Granville Barber, Bob Hopkins, Pete Smith, Paul Kennelly and Martin Lucas.” ( photo at Corley Rocks ).<\/p>\n

With the decision by Dave Sutton to leave the band , we needed a new lead Guitarist. As so often happens when someone leaves, the whole sound and feel of the band changes. We were now getting regular work, much of it outside Coventry. Dave’s replacement was Martin Lucas who was a multi style player who brought versatility to the band. This meant that the only original from the days of ” SABU ” (Allen Parsons) was Granville barber.”<\/p>\n
