We are deeply shocked and saddened to report that our dear friend Kevin Oliphant and fellow band member with The Billy Shears Band passed away on Monday 23rd February 2009. To say he will be sadly missed by everybody is a massive understatement.

Kevin played drums with many bands over the years including Jive Bombers, Billy Shears, The Usual Suspects and more recently Son Henrys Blues Band and The Alligator Haters.

We are still coming to terms with the loss of a great friend and human being and send our condolences to his family and many friends.

Ralph and Ben
