as some of you may know, i have been trying to help spread the word about the case of Troy Anthony Davis, an american man on death row. i have just been sent this link to a short video and song about the case by a band called State Radio:
http://www.protectthehuman.com/videos/killed-by-the-state-of-georgia-2
please take the time to watch it, and the time to sign up to amnesty's petitions on the case. the only thing that is going to save his life is if enough people are watching, and protesting.

Fantastic photos Richard!! I love the fish eye lens and apparently the sky over Brighton is exactly like the sky in my dreams!!! Who knew!!! Thank you for the beauty!! x
Hmmm, well Richard, what I´m really asking about is: where is the picture you took from the Brighton -gig? I saw you there in the dark-shadow of the stage, taking pictures, while Tom was singing! Am I too curious?
Wowl! A lot of nice pictures, Richard! Congratulations! I love photography too, although I prefer to make films. I've posted some of the photos that I've made on the facebook. By the way, you have a lot of groups of fans on the facebook. Funny Tom's faces. I hope to see you soon here in São Paulo. Feel youselves always welcome in my conutry. Até mais (I see you later)!
R i C H i E , T H E S C R EE N i S B E A U T i F U L . L O V E A N D K i SS E S F R O M G E R M A N Y
Hello guys!!!! Really nice pictures Richard!!!! I hope you have a great time and enjoy yourselves!!!!! Don´t care about people who say rude things about you. You´re wonderful!!! Never forget this and never stop believing in yourselves!!!!! Lots of love to everyone
I'm just asking myself, what did happen to my paint? The Brighton gig, somehow it disappeard?
Thanks, for the pics, Richard! What an amazing gig it was on friday! And that even before Katzenjammer started, I had lost my scarf! But what's really unbelievable is, that after the show I got it back!!! So, crazy! Amazing gig, amazing atmosphere (like in Munich only a bit bigger the venue), people from all of the world! I had a fantastic time here in London! Bye & good luck
@ Richard. Aw, they put your name on the drum, I'd be so chuffed if that was mine! Do you have them specially made then, like a bespoke kit? I don't know how these things work, I imagined you went into a shop and bought it. Thanks for the pics. x
very cool having your name on your drum richard. im still a wee bit concerned for the barbie doll lol its quite freaky hanging upside down like that!!!!
I do hope that's your ONLY Barbie you possess.
these are a great things! richard! jeje i love you! jeje keane the best
A talented photographer too?! Is there no end to your talents, you guys?! Our whole family came to the O2 gig on thurs(12th) and danced and sang all night.

Lots of loves from north wales. My kids send lots of cuddles x x x
Thanks for further beautiful balls !!!... Richard, you're so cool !... A blue one like "La Boule Bleue", the genuine Petanque bowl from Marseille since 1904... I love the sweet pink gleam but the nameplate in reverse is not cool and you turn out to be a real monster of teasing ;oP Anyway, a happy valentine's day to all and to TTRJ, with their beloved ones... + Take a good rest well deserved and particularly Tom (Don't pay attention to some inept critics out of pure meanness) for great performances, while the rest of the band = twiddle thumbs !... No, no, no... Great respect to all the KEANE & best regards from France !!!
ohh i love you guys...!! couting the days,Keane in Brazil :) xxx

Good morning! I am so proud of Tom! Even he had a cold he was amazing! I can`t wait for tonight. Thank you so much, for this wonderful evening. I love you!
Awesome concert last nite! xxxx
Lonelykeanefan, thanks for your solidarity! we really appreciate it!. We hope everybody else sympathise as you, we are not different Keane fans, and you may understand how we're feeling. You're right, we know a blog isn't the right place to ask for help but as you have said, it's and awful situation, we have tried everything and we only get bad information. But thanks so much for caring!
me encanta jaja aguante keane sabrina.c(arg)
TOUR SCHEDULE, please! - Jan, the Batcave will be with you tonight, have a ball! - Spiral, Adriana, lucky girls you! - TOUR SCHEDULE, TOUR SCHEDULE, please!
@anya(anne) (again) You got it: the new Fab Four! Thanks for the comments ((hug)).x
@anya (anne) good morning, are you still snowed in? @Jan (yorkie) have a ball at the O2 tonight! @Batcavers...sending some pics later.xx......@Keane, have a blast tonight, this tour is over too soon! You did us proud. xx
Richard, despite you've been a bit stingy this time with only two pics, the first one reminds a glittering Disco ball and that it's always the fun with KEANE !!!... Then, it's really a brilliant view from stage with the second pic which reminds these perfect symmetric metal balls used to play to Petanque in southern France ;)
LonelykeaneFan - I tried to PM you - but it didn't work. Post something on the Forum - then I can PM you.
OH!!!! I nearly forgot to say!!!!!!...... :D Why not take some pics... like the almost-traditional Richard's eye view, or the almost-traditional Tim's eye view, or the Jesse's, Beth's, Colin's, km.com, and many more.....lol!!!! :D ......Have a nice weekend!!!! Greeting from Chinese fans!!!!! :D
Dear Richard, nice new pics! :D the one of "tom's eye view" is really amazing!!! which really shows what view Tom enjoys! :D T_T I hope that I can see Keane's gig one day!!! I hope you don't mind I repeat this again, "THERE ARE MANY MANY DIE-HARD FANS IN ASIA!!!!" Why not make Asia tour, as there are Euro & America & Latin America? :D As we all know, good music should be heard all around!!!! How come Keane don't go further places in the world?? Just as your official site mentions, "ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE"!!! After March 2009, hmm..., we really hope that Keane can think about the PLAN to ASIA TOUR (including places like, Guangzhou, HongKong, Taiwan, Beijing of China, as well as Brunei Darussalam, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia....etc. as the record company can see, though the econemy is not very well in the whole world, BUT ASIA is DEFINITELY & ABSOLUTELY BIG MARKET!!!) If Rich & Tim & Tom have a look at the official forum, you will see the asian fans!!!! Here is a great Chinese fansite http://www.keanecn.com (made by Enchinya) , which is not made by me but means a lot to Chinese fans, let more people know about Keane!!!! Sorry for so much words, but GENUINE!! Wish everything goes well!!! ;-) Greeting from Syrinx Yip (Guangzhou, China)
Hey Anne - thanks for the batcave shout out. A couple of us are getting impatient. We want to know where Keane will be playing after they finish the Mexican/South American tour in Rio in March. I saw where they are slated to play at the SOS 4.8 Festival, which takes place May 1st & May 2nd, in Murcia, Spain. However, that has not been made official... I feel that patience is a virtue, & I would like to be virtuous, but I am getting impatient...... KM, I know you know. ANNOUNCE YOUR SCHEDULE * ANNOUNCE YOUR SCHEDULE * ANNOUNCE YOUR SCHEDULE * ANNOUNCE YOUR SCHEDULE * ANNOUCE YOUR SCHEDULE * We need to know because we are planning our summer vacations.
OK... this is going to sound the stupidest question ever: but what is the batcave??? i've heard it mentioned a few times on this site.
Thank you @anya! happily, i do feel better. @Juliana T. - well i sympathise, and so i hope does everyone else. it sounds like an awful situation to be stuck in. though if you want to do something about it, i'm not sure a blog is the right place. sorry - i bet you've tried everything else. well good luck to you!
@Lonelykeanefan---> I hope you feel much better for the Friday the 13th show at the O2! ENJOY! To My Fellow Batcavers: Hi, all! Hope you are doing well. Wishing each and every one of you a fantastic weekend! *Jan! Have a Great time at the O2!** xx, Anne!
Hiiiii KEANE! Fantastic!! Mr.Hughes.. thanks .. You meet beautiful Tom!! --------------------------------------MONTERREY, MX-FEB-28.09!!!!-------------------------------------------
((Evening Everyone)) I highly enjoy your pictures Richard...Very Cool... Nite Nite All...
Dear Richard and friends from keanemusic.com: First of all, I excuse myself and the Keane Colombian official fan club for this last resource we are taking. We also want to apologize for using Richard’s photoblog and the space assigned for making comments as well. It’s not a pleasure for use making public our issues. But as fans, today we are feeling very angry, disappointed and sad about a situation the club is passing through. Since October 4th in 2006 the fan club was founded, we wanted to create a space for Colombian fans to share our deep admiration for Keane and support them as much as we could. As you know, the band included Colombia in the Latinamerican tour and we’re very pleased and thankful about it. We have worked so hard to meet Keane in their visit. We have talked to the event promoters, Keane’s record company in Colombia, radio stations and a lot of people that said would help us. We don’t want to underestimate anybody’s work, but there is no organization, just bad information. We are really sad and angry because a lot of them have promised us we could have a ‘meet and greet’ with you and today we have noticed that it wasn’t real. They have played with our illusions and our hard work. There is something we want to make very clear, we’re not groopies. But that’s how we feel they have treated us. They say Keane confirmed ‘meet and greet’ with some fans and sadly it isn’t us. We understand there are a lot of people who want to meet them too and we are really happy that the band can see all the love is waiting for them here. But we have worked very hard and it’s a very unpleasant situation for the official fan club. We don’t want to use more Richard’s photoblog to express our feelings. We hope you understand. If you, Richard or keanemusic.com could help us we would really appreciate it. Thank you so much, please accept our apologies again. keanecluboficialcolombia@hotmail.com
just amazing pics!

Hi keane there great pictures reminds me of 2007 =] hope you enjoy tonight Leanne xx
hi keane!!! please give us iINFORMATIONS about the SUMMER FESTIVALLSSSS!!!!!bigggg kissssssssss to you my lovely band!!!!!!!ps: beautiful pics :)
When I went home today I was seeing the ginger breads in the shape of heart at stall. Suddenly I wanted to buy the biggest one for you, honestly for Tom and I remembered an excerpt from students book - it was a song or the exercise to improve using verbs in correct tense: " ...And when he walked me home through the starry night, The moon above was shining bright, And then....he kissed me. I think sometimes the deepest form of love is very simpl. I am thinking only about you/tom/ every day, every night love ant.
so lovely pictures, thanks you richard, so lovely
Oh I sooo wish I was there - just getting greedy now as I did see them at Newcastle & Sheffield - just can't get enough of them though! Wonder what they'll be doing before they go to Mexico - probably enjoying some well deserved time off, no doubt! Hope it's a good couple of nights at the O2 for everyone - you lucky, lucky people!!!!!!!!!! xxx

Got tickets for tonight's O2 show, taking my wife - I have seen Keane at Koko and Forum in 2008, and last o2 in 2007! Give a shout to Jeff and Marie from Gravesend - Richard's birthplace, I understand!!
toujours aussi surprenantes tes photos, Richard.
Wonderful pictures! Specially the one with the moon over the sea. Absolutelly beautiful. See you soon in Argentina guys. Hope you're getting ready for the most espectacular gig ever! Love xo.
Thank you very much lovely pics ! Best luck tonight my Keane babes! sending positive energy for you all. Big Kiss* to my fave frontmam. I'm sure will be a great performance as usual.Love always,Rachel
Richie: Your "Perfect Symmetry" is so freaking good! I love that you three tried something new, it's special. Despite 80ies influences or whatever ... I never heard something like it, the sound goes right through my veins. The sun is just shining through my window and I have to listen to "Love is the end" - it matches perfect! :) Kiss from Germany, love u, J.
I always enjoy reading your blog, and these pictures are fantastic!
lovely shots of Brighton,rich. was even lovelier to meet you...ya big cutie you!! :-)
Wowl! A lot of nice pictures, Richard! Congratulations! I love photografhy too, although I prefer to make films. I've posted some of the photos that I've made on the facebook. By the way, you have a lot of groups of fans on the facebook. Funny Tom's faces. I hope to see you soon here in São Paulo. Feel youselves always welcome in my conutry. Até mais (I see you later)!
....and I am lost in wonder that photographs and CD-s or records/ art in global/, but mainly photo and record have got the same ability to catch the passing instant...
Thank you very much, R!ichard!You are excellent photographer. I like this gloaming and the night in Brighton. Unfortunately, I dont know this town. It is precise -" faded seaside glamour", or in my opinion "uncared for town" love ant.
I Love You Guys... So Very Much :( xxxxxxx
Hey Rich, thanks a lot for sharing these photos with us! They really are amazing! I especially LOVE the ones you took in Brighton! You see, I love Brighton so much, I believe it's the place where my heart is. :) The beach and the piers (especially the West Pier) are so beautiful, I've taken loads of photos as well when I spent my holidays there back in '06 & '07. I'd have loved to attend your gig in Brighton, I believe it must have been totally awesome! :) Take care x
I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got my ticket to your show in Argentina!!! Thanks for coming here!!! I'm your fan so a lot of people in Argentina!!! I will go whit my wife!!! She is very fan too!! We love you!!
Photos of Brighton Beach are fantastic. Thankyou , thankyou for such a brilliant concert in Brighton last night, for meeting us for signing the album covers and for photograph with us. Can't wait to see you in concert when you tour again. All the best in London and with tour in South America. Melissa, Rhiannon and Emmy
You lot really are a lovely bunch. Ive got tickets to see Oasis in June and id quite happily swap them over to see you all again. Cardiff was amazing.
Rich I love your pictures!!!!! (: You're fantastic!!!!!
((Good Morning Everyone)) Absolutely Beautiful Pictures Richard...I can almost smell the beach and feel the spray of waves on my face... My favorite has to be the one where you caught the 2 people by the water.. Great Timing...Thank you for sharing them with us.. LindJ: Those biscuits are amazing...
Thank you Rich for the photos, that way you make us feel like we are part of keane more intensely, I would love to taste the biscuits...lots of love...
love you, Keane

Hi everyone, just wanted to explain about Tim's missing cookie. I noticed just before going into the gig that the packet had split, so I put it on the , and I can only assume that the security guys I left them with either took it out in case it was damaged, or it has fallen out, either way, big apologies to Tim, hope you are reading this, there WERE two of you, honestly! I have posted my own on pic on the over 30's thread in the Walnut Tree section to prove it!! haha! Thank you for all your lovely comments, I feel honoured and so pleased that boys liked my pressie so much!!!

Ciao Richard, sei sempre più matto e divertente ! Intanto ringrazio anch'io Lindy per questi biscottini così originali ! Sicuramente sarano ancora più gustosi con la vostra immagine impressa sopra! Belli i paesaggi dove si vede il mare, la luna, le nuvole , mi sembrano dei quadri ! Ma ce ne sono alcune... che mi stanno facendo ammazzare dalle risate! Ma come ti vengono in mente queste idee? Sei intelligente , interessante e tanto attraente ! Auguro a te e a tutta la band e a chi vi sta accanto, tanta gioia! Grazie sempre di tutto quello che ci regalate ! Keane, voi siete la mia innocua , sana e benefica dipendenza! Ciao dalla Catanese ( Sicilia ) Sabrina !

Wow - these pictures are amazing! I try to look for artsy things like that when I take photos, but they never seem to come out quite as good as I want them to... :) Much love from Nowhere, NH, USA!
Thanks very much for changing Sheffield to Liverpool, Richard. Linda will be well chuffed, as we say up here!
HELOISA, ISA FROM BRASIL, SAO PAULO -------------- I do love Richard´s pics, I do like the way he shows the emptyness and the archtecture or objects spread in the space... THANK YOU, RICH! ****************************************************** LOTS OF LOVE TO MY FAVOURITE BAND!!!!!!!!!!! ********************************************************************** ********************** WARM HUG!! *********
KEANE, you're really spoiled by your fans !... They always have some special gifts to offer you and it's funny to see your faces on these boxes which look like boxes of Quality Street's sweets !!!... Richard, it's so kind of you to go for a little wander to take few pics amazingly beautiful... True that the title of this album suits perfectly to the place and that the effect of time gives a such old-fashioned charm, here !... The colours are so beautifully washed out... I love this quaint place and the deserted beach that reminds the magnificent film directed by Luchino VISCONTI, "Death in Venice"...
Hi Richard! Thank you very much for this beautiful pics. I like specially the sea shots. Really great! Have a great gig tonight and a nice day tomorrow. LOVE YOU GUYS ! *******!Lots of love from Silke ;)
Great Pictures!!! Thanks for coming to Plymouth again, you put on a fantastic show as usual. I really hope you come and see us again soon. It was really nice to meet you Richard and Tim, you are true gentlemen for giving us your time for a chat, signing our tickets and posing for pictures. Lastnight will live with me forever, thanks lads.
TOM.. "ON A DAY LIKE TO DAY" I HAD "A BAD DREAM"..WE WERE IN "SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW".ONLY THAT I REALIZE THAT "YOU DON'T SEE ME, "YOUR EYES OPEN" , MORE "YOU DON'T SEE ME"...........SUZANE-BRAZIL
Your Brighton pics are beautiful! They reminded me of a poem from Margaret Atwood: Night Poem. " There is nothing to be afraid of, it is only the wind changing to the east, it is only your father the thunder your mother the rain In this country of water with its beige moon damp as a mushroom, its drowned stumps and long birds that swim, where the moss grows on all sides of the trees and your shadow is not your shadow but your reflection"
TOM, I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Raissa. Brazil - São Paulo.
Great pictures Richard. You make Brighton look even more beautiful. Thanks for an excellent gig @ Plymouth last night. Will live long in my memory. :-) Am listening to PS album now, reliving the memory. Hope the weather hasn't put you off coming back to Plymouth and Devon. It is sunny sometimes. Thank you once again and wishing you success for the rest of the tour. xxxxx
Wauw! the new Pics are amazing! Thank you Rich! we Love you! Xxx Priscilla from Holland
The shot with the very dark sky and black sea is beautiful. What a talent you have Richard. Keep them coming! x
LOVE YOU ALL.. MUA MUA MUA MUA KISSES FOR ALL INCLUSIVE ADAM
thanks RICH!!!!! I LOVE THIS AND I LOVE YOU
The sea pictures remind me of my time studying in Great Britain. I loved to take walks on different seasides with the fresh breeze. Thanks Richard for bringing back these memories. Greetings from Berlin.
Hello guys!!! Really great pictures Richard!!!! Enjoy your tour and never stop believing in yourselves!!!!! Keane 4-ever!!!
Some beautiful photos of Brighton but my favorite are the Newcastle/Gateshead ones(being a Geordie) any chance of a gig at The Sage it may be small but is perfectly formed as the saying goes and has the best acoustics in Europe (I might have just made that up)
********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** ******************************************************** TOM,WE LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!! WHEN WE SEE THE STARS,THEY SEEM SO DISTANT..... BUT ONLY IN THE MOMENT WHEN WE THINK AT YOU,WE CAN REACH THE STARS !!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) LOVE AND KISSES FROM A.B (ITALY) ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** ************
Congratulations to LindyJ! The biscuits are so beautiful that you don't want to ruin them by eating them but maybe you have...Thank you for the pics. I particularly like the ones with the sea, the sky, the clouds and the moon. J'espère que tout le monde va bien. Enjoy the gig!

Brighton Pier - symbol of places that have seen better times, but still the sea has not swallowed it. Has a special meaning for me, not a romantic one, oh no, but very special nevertheless! There is a storm coming in tonight I was told. Take care!
Oh Rich... you enjoy the sky like me... lovely pics! kisses and hugs
Such lovely pictures of a lovely place! Seems deserted to you during winter days? No, it's just a breath of fresh air before the summer razzamatazz. Besides, I bet there's been a Keane fans invasion scheduled for tonight. Sorry I can't join but some other time. Have a rockin' show.
Rich you are the best! Thanks for the photos are wonderful ... I want these biscuits too!

Excellent biscuits loool XD
Beautiful, beautiful shots of the sea!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live along Lake Michigan, and this reminds me of my backyard, except we have the most minute grains of blonde sand. Never tire of seeing the beautiful sky over the water, and you've done a magnificent job of capturing its glory. Rich, you are awash(pun intended there!) with talent!! Keep those lovely pictures coming. I love the architectural ones, too! Sherry, Michigan, USA.
Some of those Brighton pics have a rather perfect symmetry... Has someone been watching too many Peter Greenaway films?
Lovely pictures, Richard. Thank you very much. and I ADORE the cookies. I wonder how they're made, it looks like it's done quite cleverly. Lots of love and kisses, Jacky-Zoë.
Beutiful Rich as always !!!! We love you and miss you at the blog.Please send more pics...Yours are the best !!!!! Love you Kisses from Kari

Hi guys, well i must tell you this, it was my first ever concert in 31 yrs and went to see you guys play at the Liverpool Echo Arena 7 February 2009. i really enjoyed myself singing my heart out, even though i had a chest infection and dancing to the music. it was out of this world the experience i had. i am hoping to go to future concerts including if you guys end up in Liverpool again THANKS for a brill night luv n kisses Jo from liverpool xxx
Adorable photos, amazing, watching those photos I felt like I was part of the Crew...Someday I will send you my curriculum to make possible join you...Love you...
i loved to new photos is great yes!!!
wow!! richard!! you're like star! jeje keane the best
Phew, guests are gone... Despite several quick look on the site, I had no really time to write !... When it's too cold to go for a wander, the boys are staying inside to play with few lovely toys... Here is Barbie & the Rockers !... Richard, it seems you have a weird obsession about being or putting things upside down... Anyway, thank you to remind a bit of childhood because I had two Barbie too, a brune and a blonde, and I remember that it was possible to lengthen or shorten these dolls's hair at will !... Thanks to show us a little of your prized crew but now, I'm wary of Lenny KRAVITZ's sound engineer... So, it would be more careful to pour money into a good pair of earplugs in prospect of his forthcoming gig !!!...
TOM, I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Raissa. Brazil - São Paulo.
hi Richard. photos are amazing. we were at the manchester show. what a performance. excellent, top drawer. chris & carly

Will there be a live blog for Thursday's show at the O2 in London? I can't wait ... I am beyond excitement to think I'll be seeing Keane live again! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
