Revels RiverSing is an experience difficult to put in words or even truly capture in pictures or on film.  There is a power, a force, that is created when people come together and sing.  I sat with the group's Artistic Director, Patrick "Paddy" Swanson, to hear more about Revels and this wonderful experience.
