Known for his adventurous and vibrant ‘hippy’ lifestyle, Kev’s journey spanned continents and decades, leaving an indelible impression on everyone he met. Kev’s daughter, Esmee Bailey, has organized a “hippy send-off” to honor her father’s extraordinary life and legacy. The funeral was held on Wednesday, May 6, at The Old Chapel in Etruria, Stoke-on-Trent — a poignant day marking what would have been Kev’s 72nd birthday.
