Name: Kevin…but most lazy gits call me Kev, not like the "in" part really, takes much more energy to say.

Position: Drummer (the stick man). Always hide at the back, it's the way I like it, plus I'm a lazy sod, so enjoy the sitting down aspect of playing the drums.

Likes: How long have you got….. Greece, Chinese food, Drinking copious amounts of alcohol, Madigan's Bar in Dublin, Chaplin's Bar in Dublin, Oliver St John Goggarty's in Dublin (who the fuck is Alice anyway?). Beehive Pub in Harthill, Sheffield, Alfa Romeos, Coronation Street, Clean cut offs, Cheese on Toast, Hendersons Relish, Playing with the Mintys, Sheffield United, Barbeques, Bonfire Night,. Clear night skies. Managing to sleep through the night without taking a piss (never happens though).

Fav all time Band: The Undertones

Dislikes: This one is dead easy: - Cats (the devils Pet), Celery (the devils food), The American Government (The Devil), People being late, Me being late, underpants, The final can of lager, Garlic Breath, Pop idol / X factor type of shit programme and that I'm a celebrity thingy, American comedy shows….not that I've ever watched them. Eastenders. Manufactured pop bollocks. People who expect a song to finish at the same speed I started it. Loading the dishwasher, unloading the dishwasher. New Years Eve, January. People who don't flush the toilet, People who use the toilet with the door open.

Influences: I'm a drummer for crying out loud….am I supposed to have any! Love loads of different bands, but really admire anyone who has the balls to write and perform their own songs.

Previous bands: Lots of half hearted "band with no name" attempts and Loco Caminos

Best Minty mo: The whole point of this bands existence is enjoyment, and there has been far too many good times to mention, so I'm picking more than one. The day we recorded the first CD at Yellow Arch… ace day then playing it full belt at home and dancing round the room with the kids at 7 the next morning. The Green room gig on 12th Nov 2004, Chris and Rob joining us to make us the band we are.

Worst Minty Mo: Few and far between but travelling all the way to Boston to play to 3 people (including the bar staff), the dark days between Damian leaving and Chris joining. That's about it.

Fav Minty song: Without a doubt… Beautiful Way To Lie
