Available in:
Kevin John Bowyer (born 9 January 1961) is an English organist, known for his prolific recording and recital career and his performances of unusual, modern and extremely difficult compositions.
Bowyer was born on 9 January 1961 in Southend-on-Sea. He sang in a choir and learnt the piano accordion and organ as a child. When the church where he practised refused to let him carry on practising, he says: "I went and had a key cut to the church and I got in anyway." He attended Cecil Jones High School in Southend, and studied at the Royal Academy of Music from 1979 to 1982 with organists Christopher Bowers-Broadbent and Douglas Hawkridge, harpsichordist Virginia Black, and Paul Steinitz. After graduation, he studied for two years with David Sanger after winning a Countess of Munster scholarship. When given a list of music to prepare at his first meeting with Sanger, he didn't realise that it was a term's work and had learnt it all by the next week.
Aside from playing the organ, he reads modernist literature, especially James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and the Powys family.
