Keith Christmas 'Live at the Pump'BECN/KPC002
In 1970, Keith Christmas was the opening guest for the new acoustic music club (you could call it folk but that wouldn't describe the range of music and artists on show at the time) in a small barn behind The Lamb in Trowbridge. This club went on to become the renowned Village Pump festival, so it was fitting that when Keith decided to record his first live set in 2012, it should be back there.
15 digitally recorded live tracks cover the range of Keith's current set, the slide songs such as 'Fat Cat Big Fish' and 'The Days Are Long', ballads such as 'Duty Days' and 'Light of the Dawn' and several of Keith's ever-popular songs from the 70s, 'Travelling Down', Evensong', 'The Fawn' and 'Forest and the Shore' all make up a great range of exemplary fingerpicking and passionate singing.
To add to this there is the blisteringly fast 'Rock Star' (not played since the 80s, when Keith unveiled it at a bar in Spain the crowd leapt to their feet shouting “olé”!) and three bonus tracks recorded live in the studio, 'Plunder Town, All My Life' and 'Falling Rain'.
Keith has been a name people have known in the acoustic scene for over 40 years and he is enjoying something of a revival in the national media. His playing is still as practised as it has always been and at last it is possible to enjoy this legendary artist live, banter, jokes and all!
