𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞… 𝐊𝐞𝐯 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐬 - Drums, Keyboards, Guitar, Backing Vocals, Composer & Graphic Artist
Kev’s musical journey began before he could even spell the word “music.” His dad’s cornet playing in the Mainsforth Colliery Band opened the door to classical and church music, and young Kev stepped through it with enthusiasm. That all changed in 1972 when his voice broke, abruptly ending his illustrious innings as a church chorister and beginning a lifelong love affair with the louder, wilder side of sound.
𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡…
The stiff collar and cassock were swiftly swapped for cheesecloth, denim, and BIG LOUD DRUMS. Kev discovered the beauty of music beyond the chancel and transept, and he never looked back. Over the decades he’s played in bands across the full spectrum, contributing drums, guitar, keyboards, vocals, if it makes a noise, Kev has mastered it. He’s been a musical director, an award winning actor, and a constant source of creativity and inspiration. His 44+ year career as a graphic artist rivals his musical output, shaping visuals with the same imagination he brings to sound and in his local community, he’s known for sowing positive vibes wherever he goes, a creator in every sense of the word.
𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝…
When Kev “relaxes,” he doesn’t. At least not in the usual sense. He’s often halfway up a mountain in his trusty campervan or pulling his caravan, surrounded by keyboards and guitars, chasing inspiration in the world around him. For Kev, creativity isn’t a switch, it’s a way of life.

𝐀 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞… 𝐍𝐞𝐯 𝐓𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐧 - Lead Vocals, Narration, Keyboards, Imagineer, Story & Words & Composer
Nev has always been drawn to the stage. From singing in the church choir as a child to school musicals, he found his voice early and at just fifteen he landed his first paid performance with the English National Opera Company, striding out as a matador. It was clear from the start: he didn’t just want to perform, he needed to.
𝐀 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
Long hair, rock and roll, and the thrill of live music carried him away from classical training and into a world of bands, keyboards, and creative experimentation. Gil Galad gave him his first real taste of the limelight, and from there he expanded into writing for theatre, acting and any creative endeavour that would let him build worlds and tell stories.
He earned a degree, lived large on stage, and chased every spark of imagination he could find. But reality eventually tapped him on the shoulder. The arts offered joy, but not riches, just graft, passion, and the satisfaction of creation. So Nev turned his talents toward helping others, beginning a 30 year career in probation, supporting people through some of the hardest chapters of their lives.
𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫
Thankfully, the boys of Gil Galad pulled him back from the wilderness. Nev returned not just as a performer, but as the band’s Chief Imagineer the architect of stories, atmospheres, and the emotional worlds that shape Gil Galad’s identity. His narration, lyrics, and creative vision are woven through the band’s music like threads of myth and memory.
