'Buskers' - a photo book by Pat Keene - published today!



 At last.  I have the pleasure to announce that 'Buskers (From the streets to the Albert Hall 1968-9),' a photobook by Pat Keene with some additional text by myself (Rod Warner) is to be published today.  A4 size, glossy paper to do justice to the black and white photographs used in our previous book 'Don Partridge and Company.'  Plus some colour photographs from the Albert Hall Buskers' Concert that Pat only discovered recently (!).  Available from here... or follow link on the side panel to the RawMusics storefront....

A small taster...

Nearly there... Pat Keene's photobook, 'Buskers - from the streets to the Royal Albert Hall, 1968-9 is almost ready.  We hope to publish very soon, once the proofs have been sorted and the final edit is done.
