After a varied career in music that has included
appearances on stage and radio, Kevin has recently returned
to the folk
clubs and teamed up with Kontra Band to create a highly individual
acoustic music that fuses folk, roots and blues with percussion
and ambient sound.
Kevin (lead vocal, acoustic guitars, harmonica)
fronts a band that is subtle and innovative, but also highly
melodic and passionate.
They bring a wealth of diverse influences
to his distinctive, finely crafted songs:Al Tait (vocals,
acoustic guitar, mandolin & bass) has gained enormous
respect on the east midlands blues scene, while Paul de Gallier
(percussion) and Trevor Timson (keyboards) add a kaleidoscopic
range of musical colourings and styles.
Over the past year
they have been attracting folk audiences young and old
with an eclectic sound that may not be easily classifiable,
but
is enormously appealing.
Their first full length CD, Through
Any Window, will be available from April.
