Keith Christmas, Monday 7th August

Jul 7, 2017

Posted by Jon Southcoasting

Keith Christmas is a legenday survivor who played with Bowie on his first ‘Space Oddity’ album, released some brilliant psych-folk solo albums in the late 1960s and early 1970s and this year released his first new album for years ‘Crazy Dancing Days’ to very positive reviews. The album captures the thrilling guitar playing and memorable lyricism of Christmas and is well worth seeking out.

His latest Brighton gig at the intimate Greys pub is going to be excellent and comes highly recommended. For fans of Michael Chapman and John Martyn.
