Son of Brenda Bastable, herself a TCRG, ADCRG and TCRG/ADCRG Examiner, Kevin started his dancing career in 1971. He then danced until he completed his TCRG in 1987, during which he won provincial and All Ireland Championships in both Solo and Figure Dancing.

He has had two previous tapes of Irish Dance Music, made with his brother Phelim in 1985

Ar gceol rinnce Cuid 1 (Pronounced :- Our geowl rinnke Quid 1)

From Beginners to Open. Such was the success and demand that it was decided to produce a second tape to cater specifically for Set Dances, which were very difficult to come by at that time. And so another tape was produced :-

This contained  25 Set Dances on one tape. Quite specialised but once again proved to be extremely popular.

Kevin qualified as an ADCRG in 1995.
