Although occasionally called a little creeper by
Roland, Kevin has
been the superstar's closest friend for over twenty-five years. He
follows the megastar round everywhere he goes to make sure things
are running smoothly - although sometimes they aren't!
Born in Leeds, Kevin travelled down from his hometown to meet
Roland, impressed at
the superstar's early TV appearances. Kevin was responsible for
purchasing the Ratmobile, a 1953 Ford Anglia, which was sprayed
pink. This was quite fortunate, as pink is Kevin's favourite colour!
On
Roland's first
album, Kevin was responsible for recording three of the 10 tracks.
He was even allowed to release one, Summer Holiday as a single! Of
the other two tracks, one was called My Roland, a moving tribute to
his best mate, and the other was a ditty about his favourite thing -
a pink bucket. Kev likes nothing more than soaking his feet in his
bucket at the end of a long day, so what better subject than that to
write a song about?! He even persuaded Errol to do a rap on
it!
Kevin has
appeared alongside Roland in every TV series he has made, from Rat On The Road,
travelling to Switzerland, Hong Kong, Australia and Los Angeles. Kev
is sometimes prone to panicking, and has fainted on many occasions,
notably in a cable car in Switzerland when it got stuck halfway up a
mountain! Kevin enjoys eating sunflower seeds, and prefers a glass
of bitter lemon to champagne.
He is sure to
be alongside his best friend for a long time to come.
Kevin is now on-line with his very
own Facebook profile!
