Heard the one about the rocking reverend, the psychiatric nurse, the engineer and the optician with luminous eyes playing rock music at the top of the Tower?

It is not a joke - members of the rock band Revisit chose a visit to Blackpool to promote their single and encourage tourism in the town.

The band performed their upcoming single We're Under Attack on the Walk Of Faith and said they wanted to do something special to promote it.

The band in its current form has been together for around six months with the Rev Philip Chew, a vicar in Burnley, on vocals, guitarist Graham Chapel, an engineer, and psychiatric nurse John Mayer on drums.

Bass player Mark Hurlbut is the man most eyes turn to when the band are on stage thanks to his colourful contact lenses.

The optician, who works in Preston, said: "The trip up the Tower was pretty special and we want encourage people to come to Blackpool as it's one of our favourite places.

"We just want to play in different places which are a bit unusual."

Speaking about his glowing' eyes Mark said: "I was just thinking one night that it would be good to do something different.

"They are basically normal daily contacts and I just use special dyes to make them glow green.

"It is definitely something that gets attention and people always talk about it in the crowds."

The song has recently been aired on rock music station Kerrang and the band hope it will be released on download and CD in May.
