Colchester Arts Centre

About

Unique and timeless songs of vision, question and change

Words that reverberate with the tenacity of human spirit in these current times of brooding disquiet, fractured societies and the fear of Nature. A number of the Songs written in the 20th century have changed history and moved millions of people to do things they never thought possible. Now everything is moving so fast and yet, so little has changed.

Included in this concert are songs written by, Joan Baez, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Maya Angelou, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young; Also included are many of Keith’s songs from his 2020 Album ‘Paradise lost’ and from his brand new 2021 Album ‘Can you imagine’

For this concert, many of the songs have been given a powerful brand new verse that stands proud against this current wave of crises. Keith, a life-long devotee of emotional performance, approaches each of these songs with fresh courage and passion, provoking both reflection and reconciliation.

'Can You Imagine? Yet another fine album from Keith as his rich vein of form continues’ Paul Jackson FATEA

‘The world needs powerful songs as much as ever. 'I Can See', certainly hits its target. Keith clearly sees the danger of living in a post-truth, self-serving society, but he sees hope too’ Folking.com

‘Famed for his interpretations of Songs by other Artists’ Dai Jeffries
