Keith More – Guitarist

Got a visit from guitarist Keith More this weekend. Keith and I worked together at Sonic Studios in the late 80’s creating TV ads for Scottish Power, Evening News, Scotland On Sunday. Keith has played with Five Star, done sessions for Tina Turner, Chaka Khan amongst many others. He toured with G3, the guitar show created by Joe Satriani. He also toured with Fish and The Illegal Eagles.

Keith is also the programmer behind EZ Drums, the software programme which has sold more than 3,000000 copies. Back in the 80’s I can remember Keith spending days on end programming the old Akai S900 using octopads. I picked up loads of tips from him in the early days of Midi which I still utilise today. Keith also featured on Offbeat recordings featuring Senegalese Drummer and vocalist Hamed Kane on tracks I had co-written with Hamed in the late 90’s. Keith has an obsessive approach to music, he practices 8 hours every day and is an incredibly hard worker in the studio. His enthusiasm for what he does is awesome, he’s been a huge influence for my approach to production over the years.
