Demo Tape
Coping With Kevin
1986

“Have you still got this? Can I buy a copy from you?”

“Yes I have still got it. I don't have a tape to tape machine any more but I could make a digital copy. Were you in the band?

Martin”

“Hi. Yes I was the drummer. That’s me in the middle who looks like Kevin Bacon! I’d reimburse you of course.”

“Hi Dave. Sorry for not getting back sooner. The site didn’t send me an email when you replied. Yes I’ll make a digital copy. Is it better to put it on a disc or to send the mp3s as an email attachment? There won’t be any cost. I’ve still got a stack of recordable discs that I haven’t used for years.”

“Hi Martin. Hope you are well. Currently on a journey to find any Coping with Kevin digitised songs. Very happy to pay for it. I saw the band live, knew 2/3 its members and used to have a double sided cassette full of absolute quality songs. Can you help. Cheers”

“Dave Hall - Can you get in touch with Anna Davenport and give her your number or email address”

“Hi Simon. Yes I've got the tape in the picture digitised. I can send you them as an attachment if that's ok.”

“Hi Martin
I was the singer & I haven't got a copy, please could I get one?
Cheers”

“Hi Andrew. Of course. Do you want me to send it as an attachment?”

“Thanks Martin, that would be great
I actually haven't heard any of this stuff for over 30 years”

“Hi again Martin. That would be absolutely magnificent. Happy to Pay mate. How do you want to contact me for my email? I'm on Facebook by the way. Cheers”

“Hi again Martin. That would be absolutely magnificent. Happy to Pay mate. How do you want to contact me for my email? I'm on Facebook by the way. Cheers”

“Ok I can send them as MP3 attachments. Simon I’ll send you a friend request on Facebook so you can let me have your email address on Messenger. Andrew do you want me to pass my address on via MDM admin? They did that last time for Dave.”

“Hi Martin.
If you could that would be brilliant.
Thank you so much”

“Big thanks to Martin Ryan for sending me the Kev MP3's. Top man.”

“Is it possible to ask Davely68, the drummer in this conversation to contact me please regarding writing a biography of Coping with Kevin? You may pass him my details if you wish. Thanks a lot”

“Hi Simon. I can Email Dave and pass on your Email address I've still got his address from sending him the tracks”

“Hello all. Curiouser and curiouser!
I'll pass on my email address, Simon.
Mr Wilson, I shall be in touch.
Dave”

“Look forward to hearing from you Dave. Take care”

“I've sent you an email Dave”

“Just to say that after all the recent activity regarding long lost Coping With Kevin recordings (#TheKevTapes ) we have now reached an aural summit of 35 single songs and approx 10 session length tracks on YouTube. Thanks and congrats to all concerned.
