Two decades on from being in a coma for a long period after a near-fatal road accident, Billy Reeves has put together a band to resurrect a collection of songs for which he has no memory of writing. Ian Corbridge checks out the melancholy musings from this stellar band of musicians going by the name of The Helicopter Of The Holy Ghost.

The Helicopter Of The Holy Ghost is a band formed almost out of adversity by Billy Reeves, with an intriguing story behind it. Billy was, you may remember, the catalyst behind the formation of Theaudience in the mid to late 90s, effectively launching the career of singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor. After they disbanded, Billy signed a deal with Sony in 2000 with a new band, Yours, but it was a deal that was curtailed in horrendous circumstances, as Billy was hospitalised for a long period, after being hit by joyriders at high speed in a car accident. Much of the past then became a blur at best, as crash-related amnesia kicked in. So what exactly would the future hold for Billy Reeves?
