About Kevin Mathews: -

Kevin Mathews is a creator, a lawyer by profession and the owner of an international global marketing business.

In addition, Kevin is a singer-songwriter, musician and review writer. In the last twelve years, with bands like Watchmen and Popland, Kevin has released five CDs, the most recent of which was issued by an indie record label in San Francisco.

Kevin has also forged an unlikely alternative musical persona as soundtrack writer having had a hand in the music of several made-in-Singapore films, notably Mee Pok Man, 12 Storeys, Stories About Love and One Leg Kicking and his music can also be heard on TV shows (eg. Seventh Month, Drive) and commercials (eg. Lush 99.5, HSBC).

Perhaps most crucially, Kevin has for more than a decade established himself as a music review writer of some note. Kevin began his writing journey with the Singaporean indie magazine BigO and ventured overseas to write for print magazines like Amplifier (USA), Bucketfull of Brains (UK) and Pop Culture Press (USA) and online zines like Fufkin.com, Nighttimes.com, the Phantom Tollbooth, Pop Matters and his very own Power of Pop.

for the love of god..please tell me why anyone would need to attend a course on rock music...completely contrary to the intended "spirit" of rock.
 
hello people, it is 3 sessions of 2.5 hours each. total of 7.5 hours.

to gain knowledge, we can self-learn or attend a course. to each his own.

the "spirit" of rock means not to attend any course?

do you actually know who is Kevin Mathews, this guy is really knowledgable and has experience in many aspects of the music industry.
 
I'd give respect to Kevin Matthews...I love his music, definitely a person who knows what he's talking about...but thats a steep price to pay for something that perhaps you could read on the internet....
 
Yes Kevin is definitely a great guy, plenty of real stuffs yet very unassuming. But I guess the $250/- though value for money (7.5 hours) it is not something that people must have. There is no life without history, but life goes on without knowing history.

Maybe Kevin can make changes to the pricing, I guess more people will be interested. Maybe the course is more appealing to non-rockers.
