Taken at the height of their eminence, Keith’s study of BC’s Mick Ralphs and Paul Rodgers caught them in earnest rock god pose

Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, with the actress Madeleine Smith. Although not really a folk or even folk-rock act, Jethro Tull were friends with Fairport Convention (Bassist Dave Pegg played simultaneously with the Tull and Fairport between 1969 and 1994) which may explain how Keith came to shoot Ian for Island Records.

Keith was a good friend of the multi-talented ex-Velvet Undergrounder and supplied cover shots for several of his albums, two of which are in this exhibition. This of course is for Helen of Troy released against his wishes in a form he deemed unfinished.

Formed from the ashes of mod band The Action, Keith took all the photos for Mighty Baby’s first, eponymously titled album, including very different individual poses of each of its members. And here guitarist Stone displays an early sign of his taste for unusual hats and faraway thoughts.

Another uncommon portrait from the sleeves of Mighty Baby’s first, hugely underrated album, this one catching bass player Mike Evans in a rare vanity mirror moment.

The Stones played few gigs in Europe in the mid-70s but in the summer of ’76 headlined at the Bath and Knebworth festivals behind their Black and Blue album. This is one of a few shots Keith took at one of these gigs which found the Glimmer twins sparkling nicely.

Revisiting the site of one of his sleeve shots for Mighty Baby’s 1969 album, it was however predestined that Keith would also shoot John Cale below this Chelsea street sign.

Photographed live during the year Mick Taylor replaced Brian Jones, though obviously not at the famous Hyde Park Concert where he mourned Jones’ death with lines from Shelley

Another collaboration with the Welsh maestro, this shot featuring Keith’s fridge appeared on the reverse of 1974’s Fear album, for which he also provided the cover photograph.
