The Pier
15th Aug 2009
This one diverted me from working on the album but I have a good excuse; got a commission from "Hastings Pier & White Rock Trust" (who are campaigning to save our local pier) to create a song and video for them. As per the last one (YouTube Conspiracy Theory Blues) it's definitely a departure from the sounds I'm typically making now but I think it's a fun, simple tune that (hopefully) people can sing along and dance to, and (again, hopefully) it gets the message across. Hope you enjoy. Cheers, Keith.
YouTube Conspiracy Theory Blues
3rd Aug 2009
Here's a new ditty from Keith & Lily with special guest performance by the legendary Blind Mango Penguin:
I've been busy working on the new album "Splinters", which is now pretty nearly ready for release.
Gigged on Thursday evening at the Bull in Benenden - which was a great evening and I highly recommend a visit - where some of the new songs recieved their live debut. The audience seemed to enjoy them, which is always nice. :)
Watch here for album release info.
Cheers
Keith

Keith's Latest Musings
2nd Aug 2008
Sorry it's been so long since I updated this news page.
I've been busy working, including attempting to complete the new album (nearly there now) and gigging. I'm particularly enjoying playing at the open-mic night at Hastings Arms in George Street - it's on every Wednesday and is well worth a visit if you want to see some amazing local talent (including the likes of Blair & Mama Josie to name but two).
Talking of George Street, I was delighted that my song of the same name featured in the Hastings Rock all time most requested song top 50 this year, coming in at number 11.
Cheers
Keith
