The Kinks may be set to become the latest band to reunite following high-profile reunions by Led Zeppelin, The Police and The Verve last year.

Former frontman Ray Davies has revealed that he has been talking to his brother Dave and bassist Pete Quaife about making music together again.

Dave Davies is recovering from a stroke he suffered in 2004 while Quaife suffers from kidney problems. However Ray Davies is still keen to see what would happen if they worked as a band again.

He told the Daily Mail: "I spoke to Quaife about a month ago and he dearly wants to make another record with me.

"I think Dave's getting better and [drummer] Mick [Avory] is still playing. It would be great to get back together just to see what musical ideas we had and what would happen."

The Kinks last performed together in 1996. The band formed in 1963 and released hits such as 'Waterloo Sunset', 'Lola' and 'You Really Got Me'.
