28th March 2022
Exceptional Essex-based quartet featuring singer/songwriter and stunning guitarist, Stuart Moffat.
KEGS are a respected band of longstanding and impeccable pedigree who have played for concerts, festivals, folk clubs, weddings, ceilidhs, garden parties, and much more.
KEGS instruments are:- melodeon, flute/whistle, fiddle/recorder and guitar. KEGS repertoire is extensive and eclectic, drawing upon the international folk tradition and pop culture, as well as self penned music and original songs. KEGS are renowned for their interesting arrangements and tight sound.
Kegs were formed in 1994 by Kevi, Elinor, Geoff and Stuart. It was from the initials of these four that the name KEGS was derived. Geoff left and Bobby joined. Kevi stepped back from the band about twelve years ago to bring up her family, but is now back in her accustomed place.
In 1998 KEGS made a cassette album called “The Reverend Greenish” on Glenthorn Music label, GLN004. This recording contains traditional and contemporary music and has three Tom Petty songs and a Tracey Chapman song hidden about its person. Guest musicians Dave Shepherd and Jon May can be heard on a couple of tracks. In 2007 KEGS released a C.D. called “Miss Scarlettuce” also on Glenthorn music GLN006. This recording consisted of much original material was so well received that the band cheerfully gave in to popular demand and produced their third album called “The Professor’s Plums “ GLN012. The band has entered discussions about recording another album. Watch this space.
Support... Stan Harvey performs American Folk and Country both old and new, drawing on the best from the song writers of the ‘40s and 50’s (Woody Guthrie, Jack Elliott), right up to the present day (Tod Snider, Guy Clark). He accompanies himself on guitar but always chooses songs that stand up on their own without fancy instrumentation. “I like to let the song do the work. A good melodic song with strong vocals is what people remember most.” Stan has been a semi-regular performer at the club over the years with groups such as Trilogy, Jugfolk and Economy Seven while at the same time playing in several Rock, Pop and Country bands during a busy fifty-year musical career.
