MUSIC IS the gift that keeps on giving. And if Kirk Layne’s plans for this year bear fruit, he will be developing a rounded music student at the two-year-old K1 Music School, which he and his wife Tweann own and operate.
“I do all of the teaching and she does all of the promotion,” said the bass guitarist, who has been into music all his life. He started playing the keyboard on the hotel circuit when he was about 15 years old.
“From young I was playing instruments. I’ve been playing for 21 years. When I was attending Coleridge & Parry School I got connected with a guy that had a band. So, on weekends I used to go and play with his band.
“My father Keith Layne, who passed away a couple of years ago, used to play the bass guitar on the gospel scene, with Sister Marshall and Joseph Niles And The Gospel Comforters,” he said, adding he also played with different gospel groups.
