The songs and music
KENNY HERBERT is an Edinburgh songwriter who has been working on the music scene for many years having been inspired throughout his life by the music of Paul McCartney. Over the years he has always written and recorded original music and insists the reward is being able to write and perform new material that people can enjoy and relate to. Along with his solo writing Kenny has co-written with various writers including 'Pilots' David Paton, Scottish Guitar legend Rab Howat and one of the UK's top soul jazz artistes, the London based brilliant Ola Onabule. He has tried to keep all his music as honest as possible with timeless melodies and lyrics written from the heart. From the music he has written and recorded over the years he has built up a catalogue of songs, some of which are previewed and available to buy on this site.
Kenny says—"My latest album 'ALL OF MY DAYS' was recorded by David Paton and through his support and musical talent I have completed an album of self penned songs that I am really proud of. Again, these are all heartfelt compositions written and performed because of my own experiences in life. Over the years recording with Davie in Denia, Spain, Abbey Road 2, London and in my hometown of Edinburgh has been a real joy and the fulfilment of a life long ambition, long may it continue".
