The songs and music of KENNY HERBERT
an Edinburgh musician/songwriter who has been working on the music scene for the last 20 years writing and playing in various styles from Pop and Traditional Scottish to Soul and R&B being influenced mainly by the music of Lennon and McCartney. Along with his solo writing Kenny has co-written with various writers including ‘Pilots’ David Paton, and has a current successful partnership with Scottish Guitar Legend Rab Howat. Kenny has also written some tunes with one of the UK’s top soul jazz artistes, the London based underrated Ola Onabule.

Kenny insists the reward is being able to write record and perform original timeless melodies that people can relate to and appreciate. Kenny says “recording in Denia, Spain, Abbey Road, London and in his hometown of Edinburgh has been a real joy and that he has kept all his original music as honest as possible by coming up with strong melodies and lyrics written from the heart”.

Recording New songs with Davie Paton and the Caves Gig on February 29th 2008

Rab and Myself have started recording with Davie Paton again(a new song ‘Universal friend to society’) we are now going for a slightly different sound on our new material, but ultimately it will still be melodic and up to oor producer who we have complete faith in!!.

Rab, Davie and myself visited a musician pal of ours named George Burton (a great writer and player from through the west, who is mastering his new Album down in Abbey Road) check out applebeat.com. We threw about some ideas for another of our new songs called ‘If you don’t have love’ (inspired by a Jose Marinio interview)and we are now going back into the studio with Davie Paton who is going to produce a finished version of this one with George on BV’S. Both these songs and other classics were heard live on Friday 29th February in a sell out gig in ’The Caves’ with Raff supporting us, a great night was had by all who played and all who came to enjoy the music. George Burton joined us on stage for a good few songs and The great ‘Glendos‘ John and Johnny took care of the lights and recorded music which again was excellent. Thanks to everyone who came along to hear us!!! Then Sunday 2nd March at a Marie Curie Charity Gig in The Royal Musselburgh which again was great fun and raised £5,000 for Edinburgh Sick Kids. We are currently still writing new songs which we will be recording with Davie on a weekly basis throughout this year.
