Altar Ego! Tales of the Punk Vicar

By Rev. Philip Chew

'Altar Ego ' Tales of the Punk Vicar is full of anecdotes of what it is really like to be a vicar in busy Lancashire towns as well as in a Country Parish. This is 'The Rev' for real, full of comedy and irony. Read what it is like to preside at marriages, take funerals and baptise people, to expect the unexpected with the endless stream of visitors at the vicarage door, or to work with undertakers and the bereaved.The punk music dimension gives a unique insight into an unusual double life. Rev. Philip Chew and his band 'REVISIT' have played in the strangest of venues, from the top of Blackpool Tower (live on TV) to prison. How do you get deeply involved with communities after riots, and what is it like to preside at a celebrity event? All set in the historical context of former industrial northern towns in England through to an 'area of outstanding natural beauty' in North Wales. Rev. Philip is also a member of the 100 in the acclaimed BBC TV series 'All Together Now.'
