Keith Thompson's Strange Brew

Keith's blog:

4th February 2010. OK the New Year seemed to get off with a stumble. The first gig of the year was cancelled due to arctic weather conditions. Towards the end of 2009 I eased my foot off the pedal of live work a little bit. I wanted to concentrate on song-writing both for myself and for outside clients. I made a few useful contacts in the process and picked up a little recording of film music from my old mate Nick at Music Masters Ltd. So, in spite of the lull in live work I have been kept occupied. Looking forward to gigs lined up now in Poland and Switzerland as well as a few in the UK. Musical direction is un-touched apart from maybe a desire to be a little more guitar rock! Also I am going into the studio with band mates Roy & Neil to start on new material for possible album release. Swiss label Brambus has shown some interest in releasing a new album so watch this space!

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. They 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.

Independence - Latest Band Release

With BPL in the production seat and a hot new live band featuring members of the legendary Climax Blues Band, Keith Thompson is preachin' the blues with a commercially aware and compelling combination of expertly crafted songs, incisive lyrics, total commitment vocals punctuated with desperate, troubled guitar - all presented on a bed of super solid grooves.

Steel Strings & Bruised Reed - New Release

This is the long awaited acoustic album from Keith Thompson. A raw and passionate collection of songs showcasing the singer/songwriter in Keith. As the title suggests strength and weakness, the songs tackle subjects as diverse as lost love, the Mississipi floods, moral choices and political correctness. Also featuring some great slide guitar from Keith and some mean saxophone from Patsy Gamble.
