I was going through my CD collection the other evening and came across a couple of CDs by Keith Hancock. Played them both and they were so good. He comes from Manchester way.I tried a google to see if there was any news of gigs etc, but nothing. Does any one know what he is doing? Both albums were self penned, really passionate emotive stuff. I saw him at Holmfirth Festival a few years ago and he was excellent.
Cheers
Alexis

I believe he is alive and well and can arrange for a devise to be fitted to a vehicle, such that the vehicle can carry pieces of glass.

But he remains a demon tune player and song writer who owes much to no less than Chis Cole, bigger demon that most upon the melodeon, founder of Gorton Morris Men and the magnifiscent, Gorton tank, who has gone to Scotland to do Cafe things.

But what do I know?

And who are you Alexis, and how do you know of these things?

Last time I saw him was at Skagen in 2004, very impressive.

Thanks for the info. Can't see me wanting a thing fitted to my fiat punto so as to carry glass, but I will bear it in mind.

How about gigging? Is he, and if so where?

Cheers
Alexis

'Grog' from Electropathic (battery band)can be found sometimes at Wakefield First Sunday Session at the Jolly Sailor, Thornes Wharfe lunch time and at the Red Shed I believe on certain Saturdays

Tim Veitch of the Electropathics is alive and well and living in Abbotts Bromley, Staffs. Runs a monthly session at the Bagot Arms because then he only has 100 yards to stagger to his bed. (See Derby Folk for details) If you meet him then ask him why he was playing darts with syringes wearing nothing but a pair of latex gloves......

Alive and well, and I've seen some posting from him on Facebook - and what Charley says appears to be true re location (although I don't know anything more).

Re the Electropathics - they had a reunion gig in Poynton a couple of weeks ago - a one off.

Charley is correct a good source tells me - anything further I could divulge would put me in deep water.
