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 . |

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.
