Hi Maelitta
Just an update and to put the record staight about Stephen's relationship to the Kinks.... he is not blood related nor a cousin of the Davies brothers Ray and Dave, only across marriages....real shame.

My dads has a brother that is my uncle Kenny Palmer(the dad of Phil Palmer..one of the finest session guitarist about..try google). Ken is married to Ray and Dave's sister Joyce Davies.

My wife is a first cousin of Stephen via Stephen's dad Ronnie. Ronnie's sister Olive is my wife's mum

So if you can work it out this is the link between them, via me Tony Palmer and my wife Jackie.
There is no other link
Down on paper makes it is easier to understand...I hope.

A good forum is a forum where you get answers to your questions, even the strangest ! So I got my answer (had to put things down on paper, I must admit :silly: ).
That's an interesting post, Tgly, thank you !

Thanks for getting back.
I have also read on the Internet about them being cousins but alas it's not to be albiet very close.

Looking forward to meeting up again with family and friends in Birmingham, what a show that will be.

It's hard to imagine when we were with Stephen..when he was just a little lad...and the family down at Fairlawn Mansions that playing his guitar alongside his auntie Olive(my wifes mum) on the piano in the front room that one day he would be playing the Symphony Hall in Birmingham.

His music and lyrics are of a genius the man he is.
So many memories.................
