Kev Hopper

Kev Hopper (born 1961) is an English bass guitarist. Hopper is probably best known as the bass guitarist with Stump, an Irish-English indie/experimental/rock group formed in London in 1983. Stump released two albums, the self released mini album Quirk Out in 1986 and their only full-length release A Fierce Pancake in 1988. Since the late 1980s, his mainly instrumental output has been diverse and best described as a hybrid style of experimental and melodic pop with his distinctive bass playing often to the fore. He has also created electronica with the group Ticklish and minimal pulse music in a Rock band format with Prescott (formed in 2012) featuring Scritti Politti keyboardist Rhodri Marsden, drummer Frank Byng, adding Pere Ubu guitarist, Keith Moliné in 2016.

Peel was a keen fan of Kev's old band, Stump. After the group split, Kev Hopper went solo and Peel played tracks from the musician's single and debut album. However, later material from Kev never gained any airplay on Peel's show.
