kev jameson solo acoustic,many genres,harmonica,stomp box,ukulele,cigar box guitar

I'm a solo acoustic artist and song writer,I play locally in the north west in pubs and clubs, local festivals and at private venues. i'm a vocalist,gutarist and harmonica player,and have my own unique style.I cover a wide range of artists including Stereophonics,Bruce Springsteen,Tom Petty,Johnny Cash,The Jam,Pink Floyd,Goo Goo Dolls,Bob Dylan, Oasis,The Beatles and many more .. I also have my own material and I am currently working on more studio recordings.I have worked with & supported Danny Mahon(who himself has supported Courteeners & Reverand and the makers),Dan Donnelly(Wonder stuff,Levellers guitarist and now in a fast growing band-Celtic Social Club).I have also supported Kevin Simm(Wet wet wet) and Stephen Bayliss.Anyway,enough of the name dropping now,i hope in years to come that THEY will say they shared the same stage as ME?!

At the grand young age of 50yrs i FINALLY fulfilled 1 of my dreams to become a professional solo performer(3yrs ago).I've played guitar from the age of 12 and been in the odd band but never took it seriously.However,after a serious accident in my previous profession(painting & decorating)i gradually and reluctantly accepted the fact that i physically couldn't do that job anymore.

Being in a wheelchair for 10 months,hydro and physiotherapy for 2 years and crutches for 3 years opened my eyes to a different world.I was fine really-i KNEW i'd be able to walk eventually(albeit painfully)but what about the disabled out there who are forever in a wheelchair?What about the kids, mentally & physically incapacitated for life?!I still sometimes feel sorry for myself,but with the help of loved 1's and lovely wife,Diane i am "living the dream",entertaining people and BEING entertained by a new wonderful music family.

It can be quite challenging at times playing in pubs and clubs BUT i'm doing what i love and getting paid for it.I suppose my main ambition is to play bigger gigs & not just playing cover songs.I do have a number of my own songs & am constantly writing new material even though most of it i discard because it doesn't quite meet my standards.

Many thanks
