The Kev, which originated in a mistyped email sign-off, is the persona under which I write, record, and perform most of my English songs. This alter-ego, which I have a hard time controlling or even defining, seems to mix bottomless cynicism with life-affirming silliness.
Whatever The Kev is, his biggest gig yet was held at Manchester’s Academy 3 on August 20th. Most of the set was caught on video
Personal highlights included ‘Someone Somewhere’, a consistent crowd-pleaser
and ‘Romance Tonight’, which got its live debut
Hopefully this is just the beginning, but I made sure to get some snaps from the super-glamorous dressing room because you never know when your career has peaked.
