Kevin Thorpe's Tipping Point
 

Tipping Point is the band formed by the late, great Kevin Thorpe. Kevin was so passionate and proud of what turned out to be his final project that his partner, family, friends and colleagues agreed wholeheartedly that the band project, in which he had so much faith, should continue.  

Kevin Thorpe's Tipping Point was all set to hit the UK blues scene with a brand new album and live set which would have been the culmination of many months of planning, rehearsal and hard work. As it turned out, it was to be Kevin's final project. He collapsed and died shortly after he and the band played a rousing set at the Newark Blues Festival on Saturday 11th September 2010.   

Those closest to Kevin agreed, unreservedly, that he would have wanted the project, of which he was so proud and passionate, to continue.  'He'd have wanted it that way.' 

The new, 'grittier' band which excited Kev so much is:
Dominic Hollands - Lead Guitar/Vocals,
Paul Mallatratt - Bass,
Nigel Lobley - Drums.
Dale Storr (keyboards) joined the band as a special guest on this occasion.
