Radio de Kevin Rowland

Kevin Rowland (born 17 August 1953, Wolverhampton) is an English singer-songwriter and frontman for pop band Dexys Midnight Runners. Rowland draws on his Irish ancestry in much of his music[citation needed]. Rowland's first group, Lucy & The Lovers, were influenced by Roxy Music and turned out to be short-lived. His next project, punk rock act The Killjoys, were slightly more successful, releasing the single "Johnny Won't Go To Heaven" in 1977. Alienated by the punk scene, Rowland, together with Killjoys guitarist, Al Archer, decided to form a new soul influenced group, Dexys Midnight Runners.
