I tried several times to get the song right. The tune and the chords that I started with, there really wasn't anywhere else it could go. I stopped fighting it and let it take me away.

Kershaw wrote songs and performed for the soundtrack of the 2010 film Round Ireland With A Fridge by Tony Hawks. As part of each show he played the entirety of his debut album Human Racing which was re-mastered and re-released earlier in 2012. 1985: "Act of War" by Elton John – Kershaw on electric guitar
1991: Still by Tony Banks – Kershaw on lead vocals on "Red Day on Blue Street" "I Wanna Change the Score" and "The Final Curtain".

His 62 weeks on the UK Singles Chart in 1984 beat all other soloists. Kershaw appeared at Live Aid and penned hits for Let Loose The Hollies and a number 1 for Chesney Hawkes "The One and Only". The one time jazz-funk guitarist was a 1980s teen idol.
