REVOLVER are a four piece band from Dundee, Scotland. These four, lifelong friends since childhood have always shared a common obsession with the music of the Beatles and now specialise in performing accurate, live representations of a huge range of Beatles songs from all eras. The group are particularly renowned for their performances of many of the Beatles classic album tracks recorded from 1965 onwards. The majority of this later material was sadly never performed live by the fab four themselves, however, REVOLVER relish the challenge of recreating these complex studio productions in the live arena. Performing in REVOLVER has proven to be a real labour of love for the band, who go to great lengths to perfect the subtle intricacies which epitomise and define the music of the Beatles. The band adopt a modern, multi-instrumental approach in an attempt to fully re-create the studio recordings. Revolver’s set is a true eclectic mix of material, with something special guaranteed for every Beatles fan.

It all started in a far corner of the Slovak Republic in a a beautiful city called Kosice.
The year was 1996 (six years after the fall of The Berlin Wall). Two young men who were best friends and had grown up together on the same street very near the cultural center of this town, decided to express their gratitude to the most popular rock band of all human history.
Dalibor Stroncer and Miroslav Dzunko (John and Paul, respectively) both budding musicians themselves, began to emulate and interpret the music and songs of The Beatles. It quickly became the main area of their musical interest and performance. They added a George (Frantisek Suchansky) and a Ringo (Daniel Skorvaga). The rest they say, is HISTORY

REVOLVER will be performing Revolver, the seventh studio album by The Beatles, released August 1966 on the Parlophone label and produced by George Martin. Many of the tracks on Revolver are marked by an electric guitar-rock sound, in contrast with their previous LP, the folk rock inspired Rubber Soul (1965). Placed at number 3 in the Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, the album is often regarded as one of the greatest achievements in music history and one of The Beatles' greatest studio achievements.
