A message from Ray Campi.
To all my friends worldwide,
I am very happy to have a role in bringing the music of Kevin Fennell to the world through computer downloading.
Kevin, an amazing guitarist, and in recent years a songwriter, music producer and vocalist, entered my life when he joined my Rockabilly Rebel band in 1977. Two tours of England followed shortly and our close friendship has advanced since that time as we still perform live and record together.
If you enjoy Rockabilly, Blues Guitar, Country Music and Good Ol Rock & Roll give a listen to the amazing nine CD's of Kevin Fennell available for purchase on the web.
Hi Kevin .. Great to hear from you man :0) Everything is fine here, very busy but very happy ... My hands are like two old hams but that's the price to pay I guess !!! How's it over your side of the pond my friend ?? .. Please give my best to Ray ;0) Cheers .. Mark
The band was called The Kingcats and they were brilliant, so I'm going to put them on the 2010 show. The trip was well worth making and although the road gritters were out we didn't see much snow and ice, but it was damn cold to say the least... God and finances willing I really want to come over there before april, bev & I really need a vacation soon...
By the way I have two of your cds in the 300C and they are getting lots of play, some good stuff on them... Keep rocking.....Chris
