Kevin bought his first acoustic guitar followed in quick succession by
the classic beginners black and white STRAT copy by Squire (a god
awful piece of junk that would never keep tune nor intonation but
sufficed for riffage). With kit in hand Kevin set out to learn how to play
with a book of chords, a few tab sheets and the help of friends
showing him new riffs.

By the time G.C.S.E courses were to be chosen Kevin had written
several tracks and recorded them at Rhythm studios in Bickmarsh for a
birthday present. He took the recorded tracks to his school music
teacher Richard Dobell (R.I.P) for appraisal who subsequently asked
why Kevin was not in his G.C.S.E music class. The response was
obvious, "I can't read music! I don't know the difference between a
quaver and a quiver!" Despite Kevin not going to any classes Kevin sat
the G.C.S.E music exams and submitted his recordings as compositions
and was more than surprised to earn a Grade A. (Thanks for your
confidence and support Richard Dobell (R.I.P))

During this period Kevin also played his biggest gig to date
performing his own compositions at a talent show in front of over 5000
people on Evesham's Crown meadow. As time went by Kevin
continued to play small solo gigs and a few with varying bands.

By 18 Kevin had pretty much put the guitar down for good, not
reprising it until several years later. But then thanks to Glass House
Wizzard, Kevin did his first solo acoustic support slot for many years.
Kevin was close to cancelling this gig because on the morning of the
gig his granddad passed away, But choking back the tears Kevin
proceeded with the gig in honour of his grandfathers memory.

Subsequent support slots followed with bands including The Irony until
Kevin was approached to audition for the role of singer in Altrum.
Much to his surprise he was to be the new singer of Altrum. After 18
months, Kevin left the band on bad terms and over the next 18 months went from band to band never quite feeling like it was
right. Bands included Glass House Wizzard, Thud and a few other
unnamed acts until a text from Gangle asking him to sing in BTS, but
on the morning of that audition Gangle asked if he'd play guitar too
and here we are now, big and proud and B.T.S!
