Biography
Coyne was born in Derby on 27 January 1944 and educated at Joseph Wright School of Art (1957-1961) then Derby College of Art (1961-1965) where he studied graphics and painting, obtaining the N.D.D. in 1965. Early musical influences were Little Richard, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and later (at art school), Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Reed.
Coyne’s first job was a social therapist at Whittingham Hospital, Lancashire (1965-1968). In late 1968 he moved to London, starting work for the Soho project as a counsellor for drug addicts in 1969. This work was a source for many of his early songs and remains a major influence today.
In 1973 a youthful and idealistic Coyne signed as a solo artist for “Virgin Records” (after a five album spell with Siren on Dandelion Records) proceeding to make eleven LPs over the next eight years. During this period he recorded with the likes of Andy Summers, Zoot Money, Carla Bley (for her album “Silence”) and Dagmar Krause. It was a productive time in his career, with tours of Australia, Europe, Canada, the U.

Just fishing out for interest here but I know someone who has a bunch of books printed that Kevin Coyne was going to sell on tour but died just after they got them all published, how many of you would be interested in buying a book?

Bursting bubbles was my first album with Kev, love Sanity Stomp with the Ruts from 1980 and One Day In Chicago with Jon Langford from the last years of his 30+ career.

The best part of finding someone with a huge discography like this is having the chance to wade throught it all at leisure; so far I must say both Blame It On The Night and Marjory Razorblade are great, great records.
