Uilleann pipes
Kane is married to Sandra Bracegirdle (who is also a councillor in the City of Manchester). He plays a number of wind instruments including the Uilleann pipes, bagpipes and the flute. He is a Manchester City Football Club season ticket holder and, like his predecessor as MP for Wythenshawe and Sale East Paul Goggins, managed to bring Manchester City into his maiden speech in the House of Commons. He also played the pipes in a musical performance before a game at Maine Road, the club's former home ground. In August 2015, Kane won the Northenden boat race.
