Keith Thompson and his band have been consistently performing in mainland Europe where they are well known to the large blues following as an exciting live band. This year Keith completed his 4th Blues/Rock album, “Independence” and has subsequently toured again in Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Poland, and the band also appeared in Slovenia at the prestigious “Postonja Blues Festival” with “Ten Years After” and “Paul Lamb and the Kingsnakes”, Suwalki and Krosno Festivals in Poland alongside, Jeremy Spencer (Fleetwood Mac), Colne R&B festival in Lancashire, Swanage, Banbury Upton and Gloucester Blues Festivals in the UK. The album has been getting great reviews and Keith is starting to get long overdue recognition as a guitarist and songwriter. It all started while still teenagers in pre punk 70’s Keith and his band toured Germany, playing 6 nights a week, playing 5, 45 minute sets a night! That was Keith’s first full-time professional stint and it changed his life! This was the same Hamburg culture on which the Beatles cut their musical teeth. Over the years he has released a lot of incidental music for television programs and soundtrack projects and he has sold over 100,000 albums. Keith also writes songs and music for other artists and musical projects. Recent credits include, “Road to Recovery” the AA’s theme tune. He has added his skills on stage or in recordings to projects by Spooky Tooth, Mike D’Abo, Steve Winwood, Ruby Turner, Larry Burton (Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker) Dave Markee and Henry Spinetti (Eric Clapton Band and Tina Turner) Greg Ridley of Humble Pie, Robbie Blunt (Robert Plant) Luther Grosvenor of Mott The Hoople and many others.
