Kevin McCarthy

Professional keyboardist. Manager of Lost In Music, Disco Inferno & Back To The 80s. We play great live party music to posh people (although we're not fussy).

My new favourite Lost In Music 1980s set photo. Until the next one comes along anyway, then I'll just drop this one like a hot brick.

@petepaphides @LNFGlasgow Well done Pete, the very first recorded Twitter mention I've seen of Eg & Alice (apart from me constantly trolling Alice to tell her what a great album '24 Years of Hunger' is).

@confidencemanTM My new favourite band

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@keysmanalex @Britpopmemories Same with punk:
1 – punk bands (Pistols, Damned, Lurkers, etc).
2 – bands who were called punk by their record companies purely for marketing purposes (Blondie, Stranglers, Cars, Ian Dury, etc)
Gets me every time.

@anon_opin This has always been one of my favourite songs (other favourite songs include Anarchy In The UK and For Once In My Life). Such beautiful key changes. I had no idea it was George Martin though - thanks for that!

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@MuhammeLoving @TargetOvarian Done. Good luck Paul, look forward to seeing you back on a racketball court

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@iamdolojones Korg Delta, then Roland Juno 60, then Yamaha DX9.

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@Britpopmemories @anon_opin Yeah, that's the fella. And The Liberal Club

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@Britpopmemories @anon_opin You missed out the best one - High Wycombe!

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@keysmanalex @Britpopmemories @anon_opin My wife's memory of learning to drive around Hemel was her dad's rather unexpected nervousness and complete lack of knowledge when arriving at Hemel’s Magic Roundabout. I think he would have gladly got out and walked and left her to it.

@petepaphides Ah yes, that reminds me - "post office clerks put up signs saying position closed". Beautiful lyric and apposite every time I stand in the queue to send my parcels.

@PrivateEyeNews Thank you for making this report available without a paywall. Brilliant reporting.

@sarajcox My singer, for some unfathomable reason, managed to break the entire bathroom sink of a Famous Producer.

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@keysmanalex @anon_opin Also, a car that seats 20 people seems somewhat excessive.

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@JohnDSeymour I hope all their friends and family refer to them as 'pie couple' for the rest of their lives, as a reminder never to phone the newspapers with a shit story.

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@TheRiserBerko I did this route in reverse the other night after 3 pints in The Riser with some non-Berko friends. I told them to trust me completely, turn their torches on and just follow me no matter what. I felt like a Sergeant Major leading his troups.

[The Rising Sun Freehouse @TheRiserBerko]

Stepping to the Riser

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@anon_opin How else would you have played 'Saving All My Love For You' in a working mens' club?

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@MuhammeLoving One of my favourite places! Me & my missus met in Sri Lanka in 1997.

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

@keysmanalex @anon_opin On a slight tangent, every time my band play 'Play That Funky Music', my BVs are "play that fucking music". Nobody notices but it make me laugh.
Same as 'Venus' - there's a bit where the song goes quiet and I yell out "PENIS!".

[Kevin McCarthy @KeyboardKevUK]

Hello @PopmasterTM. Does anyone know what time that day's PopMaster podcast is released on @greatesthitsuk please?
Trying to listen to PM on a PC after it's been broadcast is impossible I think?
Thanks folks
