Keef
Hartley Band at Bath.
6-27-70. Am.
|
Keef Hartley gets nary a mention in any of the press reports, no photos, nada, zilch, nothing . A shame, I used to like this guys style and I remember being impressed by the set they played at Bath. This
band were , according to the Bath programme , not in Big Band format at
this date, but this is incorrect. The small line-up played the 1969 festival
and the big band the 1970 fest. I well remember that this was the first
great set of the day and Keef and the boys gave it some wellie and were
very well recieved by the audience, who were thirsting for some decent
music after waiting around for some hours for any music to happen .

Personnel
|
They were a driving blues based band - Hartley was John Mayall's drummer previous to him forming his own unit. They were one of the early bands on Saturday morning .
Keef now works predominantly as a furniture designer / cabinet maker in his home town of Preston. However music is still a major part of his life and building on the success of recent CD re-issues, he is currently working on new material for an album to be released in 2001.
