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 5th Blues/Rock album, “Snapshot Of Reality” 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”, Kastav and Umag Blues Festivals in Croatia, 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.

This “top flight” band of musicians have between them played with Mick Jagger, Peter Green, John Mayall, Buddy Whittington, Steve Winwood, Roy Wood, Ronnie Wood etc. etc.
