Long term frontman / vocalist / songwriter / guitarist with Belfast, Northern Ireland Rock / Power-Pop band Pay*ola. The band is currently on hiatus, but occasionally I play 'Payola Unplugged' shows with Adam & Nicky from the band.

Now also playing as a solo acoustic act, having launched the new set with a show in Lille, France in June 2015 - have been back to play more French shows since - and now playing regular gigs all over Northern Ireland. Have supported Rival Sons, Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes, Ricky Warwick of Black Star Riders/Thin Lizzy, Dan Reed, Danny Vaughn (Tyketto), Mike Tramp (White Lion), Jizzy Pearl (Love/Hate)

Debut EP Sunday Night Fever available to listen to on Soundcloud (and currently can be downloaded for free) - and also available on CD - contact philpayola@hotmail.com. Recorded at Manor Park Studios, County Antrim.

This profile will also include some of my favourite Pay*ola tunes - particularly those I wrote solo, and those which are likely to feature in my solo set.

I also presented the Sounds of NI Radio Show (currently on ice)- the most recent episode will always be available on this profile. www.facebook.com/soundsofni

On this page I'm (Kevin) going to be posting a few original songs and maybe a few covers too.  Hope you enjoy what you hear.

The band formed in the latter months of 2011 when Mark & Kevin got together for a few jamming sessions. The pair soon realised they loved playing music together and decided to start writing some original material. This material has become Fountains Fall. At the start of June Fountains Fall released their debut EP, "Don't Fear Angels" and haven't looked back since.

After a busy summer the band took a short break. In the Autumn months though that urge to start writing returned and the band dusted off their guitars and started writing again, with the addition of Daniel on bass. They've been working hard on new material ever since and hope to see you at a show soon.
