After Sabu - Allen Parsons left The Motion, Paul Kennelly took his place and after one gig they changed their name to Revolution (because Paul pointed out another meaning to "Motion". In the seventies Allen Parsons reformed Revolution and called it Revolution 69 and the had a residency at the Plough on a Sunday. The line of the Revolution 69 was -
Allen Parsons, Paul Ashfield, Barry Frost

Revolution renamed from The Motion 23rd January 1969 and split up 24th May 1969 when Dave Sutton left. Relaunched as Natural Gass with Martin Lucas on guitar.
Paul Kennelly recalls -
" We relied on a member of the band's family to bus us around in an old Bedford Utilabrake. This was very unsatisfactory as , on occasion, he would just refuse to take us ! Luckily , Bob Hopkins got in touch , he was looking for a band and also he had a van ! Thus we became a five piece."
