Kevin's introduction to the record industry was back in 1978 as bass player and founder member of the ComSat Angels. Hailing from Sheffield (UK) Kevin went on to make 9 albums for Polydor / Jive and Island before leaving the band in 1989 to focus on record production and artist development. Always at the forefront of technology, ie geek or techno junkie !, Never far away from a computer - starting back with a Sinclair ZX81 - Kevin now develops digital solutions to content delivery / management and royalty payment systems in his (somewhat sparse) spare time. Bacon & Quarmby as they have become known, have almost 20 years of artist development and record production - achieving both Grammy and Brit awards having worked with artists as diverse as Finley Quaye, Pretenders, David Bowie and Ziggy Marley amongst many others. In recent years they have consulted at A&R level to Nick Gatfield at Island Records and developed joint venture businesses with Universal Publishing and TVT Records (US). In 2004 they moved into RAK Studios in London were they since become based, and it is in this historic venue that the new AWAL London office is based. Recent productions include Oi Va Voi and Beverley Knight.
