		This week's Quote about DWC...
The Last Gig! The Next Gig! Gigs This Year!	DWC on YouTube	"Well, you were certainly better than the England team"	Gig Photos!

DWC is the result of a group of Dorset Vicars having an excess of Rock and Roll aspirations over talent. Despite individual group members having (amongst other things) had lorries take out the front of their church or appearing on "The Weakest Link", the desire for fame (and to make a lot of noise) drove them to meet in secret at the clergy equivalent of Rockers Anonymous, much to the relief of their wives and families.

See them at their next gig - click here for details... Coming together at the start of 2006, these five sad individuals decided to offer their limited talents up to the derision of their friends and congregations by playing cover versions of (until now) much loved rock and pop classics including "Hi Ho Silver Lining", "Rocking All Over the World", "Tiger Feet" and assorted once-beloved songs by people as diverse as The Beatles, Elton John and Oasis. So far, they have not played the Hammersmith Apollo or the Marquee but they have played Blandford Forum URC Church Hall and are pleased that Wembley is now up and running - nicely in time for their 2012 "Totally Incensed" Tour (because it would be nice to see a game there).

DWC consists of ... Clive Thomas (Team Vicar of Shaston) on Drums, Graham Perryman (Team Rector of the Melbury Team) on Keyboards, Geoff Boland (Team Vicar in Canford Magna) on Guitar and Vocals, Laurie Clow (Team Vicar at Hampreston) on Bass Guitar and Tim Storey (Rector of Blandford Forum) on Guitar and Vocals. These five deluded individuals are the subject of much concern in their parishes. See photos of their latest gigs here...

The small print. Nothing on this web site should be taken too seriously and DWC cannot be held responsible for anyone thinking that DWC might actually be a real rock band. Thanks to Jackie and various folk (including the Diocesan Area website) for the photos and to Bishop Tim for flogging the ecclesiastical equivalent of a dead horse by trying to promote us. We will retaliate sometime. And thanks to all those rock groups who put pages and pages of "Thank Yous" on their album sleeves. We thought these were long, but we feel better now. So let's sing hymn number 5382 and get going ....
