Kev records for Charities

Kevin Walker joined Sylvia Kent and our presenter Frank Toohey in the BHR1287 studio this morning to talk about the release of his forthcoming album, the first in thirty years. The album "Biding My Time" is The Kev Walker Band's third album, and was put together after some deep thinking from Kev who's wife died from cancer.

At the time Kev said he couldn't think straight, but as time went by he decided he wanted to do something to make a difference and give something back after the help he received from the Macmillan Nurses. With the aid of his musician friends he has written the lyrics and music to all of the tracks on the album with proceeds going to Macmillan Nurses in Essex and Cancer Research.
 
He also spoke of his upbringing which was church orientated leading to playing guitar to Gospel tracks along with Vince Clarke, who later left the church and formed the band Depeche Mode. Kev is a carpenter by trade, runs his own business, which goes hand in hand with his charity work.
 
The album will be available to buy the end of July, with the album launch taking place at The Towngate Theatre, Basildon on 10th August.
