Apart from being a musician, I’ve been lucky enough to work a lot of different jobs in the live music industry. From production assistant to backline tech and from sound engineer to tour manager. Let me tell you, it can be seriously hard work. I remember jobs where we started at 5am and finished at 6am the following day.

Earlier this summer we were proud to join members of the UK music community in lending our names to the Let The Music Play campaign, which significantly influenced the culture package that was announced just days later by our government. Today we want to acknowledge once again the scale of the jobs and companies that make up the UK music industry that need urgent help - it is vital that whilst the government is deciding the distribution mechanism for the fund they understand this.

It’s exactly 8 years since Strangeland came out. We all love that album - you might have noticed that songs from Strangeland tend to make up a large proportion of a Keane setlist!

This is the kind of question I’m talking about! Err, Razzmatazz in Barcelona is a cracking venue but the toilets are where Coronavirus first spread to human beings. He’s like Phil Collins, one day he’s gonna rise from those drums and steal my job.

It’s hard to believe that our album #CauseandEffect was released just over six months ago, on 20th September! That same day we played a sold out homecoming gig at The De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill, an evening we will never forget at one of our favourite venues. Image During this difficult time, please do whatever you can to support your local independent venues. They are a vital part of what makes the live music industry so special. Over the next few weeks, we will be unveiling videos from the concert to share with you all.
