Kevin Hewick is one of the most popular and richest English singer- songwriter who was born on February 4, 1957 in Leicester, United Kingdom. Kevin Hewick (born 4 February 1957) is an English singer-songwriter who was an early member of the Factory Records roster. Today he is known for his recordings on Sorted, Pink Box and his own Botheration label, and his recent work with Venetian collective Unfolk.
Hewick returned to the Leicester music scene in 1989, and released two cassette albums in the early 1990s. Leicester label Sorted Records released the Helpline album in 1999. He continues to perform frequent gigs within the city, both as performer and/or event organiser. He booked acts and hosted the monthly Firebug Comfort Zone Sunday afternoon acoustic sessions between September 2005 and October 2006. Since September 2008, he has hosted the Musician Open Stage on Monday nights. Hewick also returned to the London acoustic circuit, often performing at 12 Bar Club in Denmark Street. He sang onstage there with Subterraneans in November 2010.
Between late 2004 and the spring of 2005, Hewick managed all-female band Firebrand, featuring Sarah Firebrand, later the bassist of Tigertailz.

Hewick signed to Cherry Red Records in 1983, and released the album Such Hunger for Love, the single “Feathering the Nest”, and This Cover Keeps Reality Unreal, a four-track 12″ EP recorded in collaboration with The Sound. These and various items from Hewick’s time on Factory were later reissued by Cherry Red in 2003 as the Tender Bruises and Scars compilation CD. Hewick wrote the liner notes for this album, detailing his long fight with depression in the years after Cherry Red dropped him from their roster in 1984.

Born in Leicester, Hewick received his first guitar at the age of 6, but only learned to play in his teens while studying at Countesthorpe College. He played in a band called Life before going solo, while working in a social security office following graduation from university. In 1979, a demo tape sent to Factory Records impressed Tony Wilson sufficiently to offer Hewick the chance to record for the label. Newly added to the Factory roster, Hewick had a recording session in June 1980 with producer Martin Hannett in Graveyard Studios, where he recorded two tracks (“Haystack”, released on From Brussels with Love compilation in 1981, and “A Piece of Fate”) with the three surviving members of Joy Division, a month after the death of Ian Curtis and just prior to their adopting the name New Order.
Other Factory releases included the controversial live side of the A Factory Quartet double album (FACT 24) in 1981—live tracks chosen against Hewick’s wishes by Wilson, that featured a confrontation between Hewick and a very aggressive audience—and the single “Ophelia’s Drinking Song” (FAC 48), which featured producer Donald Johnson of A Certain Ratio on percussion and was mixed by Peter Hook of New Order.
He twice paid tribute to his old friend, the late Adrian Borland of the Sound, at concerts held in Borland’s memory in the Netherlands, at the Patronaat Haarlem (2001) and Amsterdam Paradiso (2006). He also toured Germany with the Convent in 2001.
