A Welcome from Kevin Hewick
This site is about me and my music, but it also contains information about/links to other artists I've worked with/been influenced by. The web site has been put together witht the help of Steve Rees and Gary Knight, and between the three of us we have gathered a large amount of material - its a long,ongoing story - and we will be regularly updating/adding further to the site..
I've been writing songs, on and off, for over 30 years, and performing them, off and on, for nearly as long. If I'd have followed the conventional path then I should have never started again after I stopped in 1984, a burned out commercial and artistic failure following my times on Factory and Cherry Red records. But, a few years later, not only did the will to do it come back, I was also a far better artist, with a far better grasp of melody, lyrics and performance.
Today I still feel I have got some kind of passion and vision, constantly exploring new insights that I can express in my songs. I've always said that I try to fill a hole in music, doing something that isn't done by anyone else, that isn't catered for by the normal music biz. It's real, it's sincere and it's here, if anybody wants it..and if not I'm doing it anyway - I have to, need to..and, hopefully, I can communicate elements of both the personal and the universal..and..saying as that hole in music still needs filling I'd like to have a go at filling it..
