Keith Artis

My musical career began when, in the sixties as a very young man, I joined a band called "Ye Highwaymen" as the lead vocalist. After a few years we broke up but by this time I was truly bitten by the musical bug. Eventually I found my way into another band, initially as the lead vocalist, although after one of the band members left I doubled up as the rhythm guitarist. Much later in my career I began playing keyboard as well.

This was the beginning of my life as a vocalist/guitarist/keyboard player and thereafter I found myself playing in many bands over many years.

Those I remember were:

1960s

Ye Highwaymen

The Thirteenth Hour

1970s

The Haseldon Band

Dealer

The Mischief Band

1980s

The Mischief Band

1990s

The Mischief Band

2000s

Four Wheel Drive

During my time as a lead vocalist, I made various attempts to write songs, which I played with various bands at the time. Although I did not take song writing seriously I felt, given the opportunity, it was something I could do and would come back to at a later date.

Hence, it would appear my life has now gone full circle and although I no longer play live music, in the past few years I have written quite a few songs, eleven of which I have now produced and recorded.

I've now put them all together on an album titled My Time At Last.
