About Keith

Keith's career has involved him in a wide variety of musical situations; his first professional engagements in the fields of both classical and the avante garde were with major London orchestras and chamber ensembles such as the London Sinfonietta and London Symphony Orchestra.

From early in his career Keith became involved in studio work and was soon one of the very few "first call" percussionists on the London session scene. In this capacity he has played on numerous TV shows, recordings, films and major tours. Some of the artists, conductors and composers he has worked with can be found on the "Sessions" page.

Keith is also heavily involved in solo performances and recordings, chamber and duo ensembles.
