Sunday / 1950
one of our first stadium experiences... soundchecking at the Tsunami benefit gig, Cardiff.
one of my fave bits of unexpected artwork - this was painted on the side of the venue, Dallas, Jan 2005.
Trying to get some Swedish Kronor - i think this was our first visit to Stockholm.
Classic TRO shot, Boston.
Saturday / 2110
just back from speaking at Amnesty's Student Conference, talking about my trip to see Troy Davis a few weeks back. Had a great night out last night with Ant and Rob, going to see the wonderful Tegan and Sara at Shepherd's Bush (if you were there then just the name will make you laugh). anyway... on with the show!
valentine gifts, Cleveland, 2005 - thanks!
a pasty english bloke on the beach in LA, i guess in 2004
Tom, on a tourbus somewhere... sorry - no idea where!
Friday / 1739
just back from a great night / day out with Tim and Jesse, via Tom - sorry for the late update... a couple of pics from the everybody's changing video shoot, and a pic in Birmingham (I think!) on the tour with Travis in early 2004.



Thursday / 0955
from our first trip to Japan...


Tuesday / 1915
not gonna have time tomorrow, so here are wednesday's pics...
with our lovely TM of the day - Stew, in a tent, somewhere! wierd that we ended up going to Lincoln, Nebraska, home of the Cornhuskers long after Tim had predicted it through the medium of a T-shirt.
Corin Hardy, director of Butterfly - a fantastic short film, which was the basis of the video for Bedshaped - see www.mysteriouscat.com (you can buy the full film on UK itunes, by the way - it is brilliant, and probably the bargain of the century too). Here he's holding a wall used in the animation, customised with bedshaped-related graffiti (and the name of his band, too).
one of us always seems to be on the phone!
PS happy day that you don't celebrate, rob...
London / Tuesday / 1015
don't know where this was, but it's definitely Hopes and Fears era... note hi-tech solution of putting laptop on some random bits of foam! looks like the trusty fold-up white table had been retired at this point.
LA, superbowl day - think this was around the relase of UTIS, but i'm not sure... sorry!
Paris, obviously!
London / Monday / 0930
Seeing as the label are re-releasing Hopes and Fears, I thought I would dig out a few old photos from 2003/4/5. I thought you might like to see them. I'll try to put a couple up each day this week, starting with 3 shots from the video shoot for somewhere only we know... (i happened to move that snare drum the other day, and it's still covered in the mud from the shoot).
I went to see JQ and the Mets last night, and also a band called Hoodlums - both were really good. Was nice to see a few keane fans there too! anywhow, on with the pics...

Hi Richard! Love the pictures and looking forward to see some more :D! I'm still disappoined that I missed your concert in Befast last January- while you were playing your wonderful songs I was stuck on the plane from Slovakia. But I'm sure I won't let that happen again :D! Love you and your music, guys! BTW if you are planning to go to Slovakia, Hungary or Czech Republic and need a translator or interpreter give me a shout :D...

LOVELY PICS!!!♥♥♥♦ SHOUTS FROM ARGENTINA♥♥♦♥♦♥♦♥♦♥♥♦ NATY♥♦♦♦♥ THANK YOU RICH!!!!!!!♥♦♦♥♦♥
Me again... Sorry ! Yeah, I was almost certain about "who" was going to score a goal... Hihi !... Football or Handball ?!... Quite dubious and it may be possible that the French really are naughty cheaters but as they're all thumbs actually, then frankly I don't know why all these teams are so eager about going to South-Africa to get the true, the good thrashing... Given that probably Brazil or Spain will be the real winner anyway !!!
love keane estan muy bonitas las pic de ustedes son geniales
NO!!!!! TOM ES MUY LINDO CON EL PELO ASI CORTITO COMO LO TIENE AHORA, QUE NO SE LO DEJE CRECER♥♥♥ KISSES FROM ARGENTINA♥♥♥♥
Richard ! In regard to your last picture, I have now a dark premonition for the French team about tonight !... I keep fingers crossed but I think that any ♥KEANE♥ is kinda tough nut, in a stadium or anywhere else !!!... And by the way, I'm not at all interested in Football but it's just because I can't prevent this emotional connotation... Sorry☺!
xxx ooo from ARGENTINA TOM HACEME CASO, TIM DECILE A TOM QUE SE LO DEJE LARGO!
me hacen acordar a cuando tomi tenia el pelo largo.que lindo tom dejatelo asi otra ves.xxxx
QUE HERMOSAS FOTOS ME HACEN ACORDAR CUANDO LOS CONOCI.... THANK YOU RICH!!!!!!! LOTS OF LOVE FROM ARGENTINA!!!!!!!! XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Our every day new photos, this is really great! love to see the places where the band seen, faces and mouths, even very nice!!! BRAZIL- GOIÂNIA
Which guitare have you choosen, Tim? I´d choose this light green- nice colour. ...:)
I hope, unpleasant winds and heavy rain with storm in southern England finally have stopped yet./ Thanks for shared again your splendid photos with us . Bancomat reminds me, that I have to wait for my new credit card for 10 days!/ old was invalid/ and this:" The safest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your pocket.", or "Save a little money each month and at the end of the year you´ll be surprsed at how little you have." blessings and love and wish you beautiful weather,
This is actually the case, Tom ! You have tousled hair and so, here is a link to take a look at something very useful to avoid showing us a bed head at sound check... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comb Richard HUGHES, the chocolated love message makes you sweat in profusion... Damp shirt☺!
the pictures are so cute!!! thank you very much for sharing them with us♥love from germany
Hello! Richard thanks for sharing these memories.. A big hug from Chile....
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★ …………… MARVELLOUS PHOTOS !!!!!!!!!! ……….. TOM, YOU ARE AS THE SEA: MYSTERIOUS, FASCINATING.... WITH AN ENDLESS BEAUTY !!!!!!! ☺ ………♫♥♫♥……………. A BIG KISS TO OUR DEAR TOM FROM … ★ ….. A.B …… ★ ……. (ITALY ☼) ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★★★★
oh, i love that blog, it´s wonderful and fun to see tom with his long hair...
Thank you Rich!!! It is great to see these photos...Love from Argentina!!
@East Coast, that's funny! And I agree with you Gudrun, I'd love to see their expressions. Thanks to Richard, you put some pics of yourself up. I like the classic "Brit on the beach" shot. xx
Buongiorno caro Rich, che bello svegliarsi e trovare subito altre nuove foto di voi tre ! Mi piace tantissimo rivedere Tom con quei bei capelli biondi più lunghi ! Divertente l' immagine di Tim e i vostri collaboratori fermi e un pò preoccupati davanti al bancomat !Come dei comuni mortali vedo che anche voi avete problemi di prendere e scambiare soldi ! Trovo molto interressante anche la fotografia dove il nostro genio musicale Tim è intento a provare le chitarre elettriche !!!Chjssà se il suono era di suo gradimento ! Ti ringrazio di cuore dolce Richard per tutto quello che ogni giorno ci regali , hai un animo davvero gentile e sensibile !Io non mi stancherei mai di guardare queste tue foto , sono una delizia per gli occhi !!!Mando tanti bacioni a te e ai tuoi compagni Tim e Tom ! Io sto ancora un pò qui con voi, poi pranzo e corro a scuola per le lezioni di violino ai miei affezionatissimi alunni !BUONA GIORNATA KEANE ! BY SABRINA FROM CATANIA, SICILIA !
Finally! One from Sweden! :D
Haha, I bet if we had seen these 2 gentlemen in Cardiff from the front and not just the "bedshaped" hair (that was a good one!), we might have seen a bit of a worried expression on their faces, LOL! - Mr. Hughes, keep them coming! Looooovely!
Lovely memories!!!! Thanks for the beautiful pics Rich!! You really made my day :) kisses from Argentina..
thank you so much Richard!!!....the photos are so cute.....what such great moments....!!! xD (Nadia....Mexico..)
@East Coast, "Bedshaped hair" is the funniest thing I've read on this website in months. Ha ha!! I can just imagine their dazed expression: "From the Hope & Anchor....to this? Tim, are we in the right place then?" I love it. Lovely.
Me siento tan nostalgico... Asi los conoci!!! fue como ver fotos de mis mejores amigos de hace años!!! Thank you Richard!! You're my teacher... my rector!!!
RICH you´re AMAZING!!!! i LOVE YOU!!! THANKS FOR THE PICS!!!
Thank you Rich! Great pictures!! And thank you for thinking about us even on Sundays!!! :-)
Ah, a shot of the back of Tom's matted long hair - good times! Bedshaped hair.
I love them!♥ When they come to Argentina?=) Keaner´s Add: noeliajazmin16@hotmail.com
I love them! they are excellent! I hope some day to know them, are beautiful addition!♥ Keaner´s: noeliajazmin16@hotmail.com , Add!
Lovely surprise Richard, thanks! Nice TRO shot.
Love these old pics and esp. that shot of the Millennium Stadium, it was the 2nd time I saw Keane, and was sat near the back, just about where the top of Toms head is in that pic!
Thank you for the pictures Richard, thanks for thinking of us fans and posting. Love the photos and we love you too :)
Richard !... Once again you're awesome for posting something when we're bored to death on sunday evening... "Money, get away/Get a good job with good pay and you're okay/Money, it's a gas/Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash/New car, caviar, four star daydream/Think I'll buy me a football team"... It's a huge song, I love it ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkhX5W7JoWI&feature=related By the way, very lovely pic of Tim quite focused on guitars but Tim, my dear : I'm pretty sure you concur that these are not the finest instruments of God's creation that are most pleasurable to scratch, actually !... Quite right, Richard ! This fresco is brilliant except that it looks like you have no your arms, here... That's quite damned annoying ! But anyway thanks to you, we have fun☺!!!
HELOISA, ISA FROM BRASIL, SAO PAULO *********** OH DEAR RICH, you made my Sunday happier today! Thank you, thank you! I loved the pics! Have a nice weekend, my favourite band! XXXXXX
great shots! in the first pic Tom & Tim looks (weeell, I know they are back lol) but I realize that they are really surprised of how enormous is the venue! I imagine it was something completely new to you... also loved the "classic TRO shot" Tim looks great with the guitar.. it seems he was having an idea for a song, so inspired!! ...and the artwork of Dallas is very nice!... oh well, you know... all your pictures are amazing, thanks again... you rocks! :D ...I'll be waiting for more and hope to see more pics of yourself ;)... see ya soon guys! hugsss from Mexico.
Gracias Richard!! estupendas fotos como siempre!!! Tom so cute!!! Kisses from BARCELONA!!!! See you soon!!!!
Cardiff's pic ..simply is exciting, we can feel the expectation of Tom and Tim in the grandeur of the stadium.
great pics!!!! like all of your pics...i'd like to see some from your first trip to mexico... love!! ps. come bac here!!! we love you!
Estos recuerdos son geniales...............................Gracias por compartirlos
orale que tan rapidoO suben pics pero ztan buenoOzZ jeje byeeeeeeeeeeee a todos esos keanerozZ I LOVE KEANE I LOVE KEANE I LOVE KEANE I LOVE KEANE I LOVE KEANE I LOVE KEANE I LOVE KEANE
thanks, for the new "old" pics! well, I´ve already found my fav pic. It´s one of the first Japan-visit and I just have to say it´s perfect!
OMG, the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the Tsunami Relief Benefit concert was the first time I saw Keane. Thanks so much Rich for posting that pic.
Beautiful photos! I especially like that one with reading Tom on the street. Very nice! Greetings from Czech Republic!
Nice pics!!!!!!!!! Rich Thanx a lot!!! xD
the pic of Tom in the bus is very beautiful, and I like too the pic with you, it's funny !!!! Thanks and ENORMES BISOUS
I love the three of you so much.
Kiss'Nite Tom ! ..Thank you so much for being a part of my world! Sometimes we need stay quiet,in silence... for can listen our heart.
it´s cool that you do so much for troy and for charity!!!! thank you so much for that♥ you seem to have a wonderful time which is great!!! enjoy yourselves!!!! i wish you all the best♥
I think I wrote here and I am writing still because of my love of Keane music, yes- because of I´m head over heels in love with .it... Maybe I am too complicated, too emotive , but I am not fanatic. I hate the slavery of the soul and I don´t want enslave another soul.I am least lonely in the solitude .... Anyway Tom´s image reflected in the bus window is very strange, more like a dream than reality, very surreal, it is very relaxing to looking at this pic! There are very nice Valentine gifts giving certainly from the bottom of heart. I know these internationale sweets like Twix, Snicker, Chunky, Milky Way, Hubba Bubba , Pop corn, others I don´t know Rich, you are very likeable and handsom on the L.A. Beach./ but you probably dont like wearing a bathing trunks, do you? Have a very nice and rewarding workweek, Sometimes, out of discord comes the fairest harmony....
Hi everyone.. I'm really sorry for being off topic.. actually I've made a video for the H&F missing vid's competition. But it's late couple of days. Currently my job is flooding but I HAD TO make the video, for some reason... and one of the reason is that I love most of KEANE's song, since the first time I heard "This is The Last Time". It's an instant love to the band without a doubt. I made the video but failed to submit since the date is already expired. But then I think It's a totally waste If I only made it for myself... so I tried to spread some love... the video is about a ship that people said it would never sink. Like most of KEANE's song... I put My heart and story of My life in this video, hope You like it. KEANE - Your Eyes Open (animation) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4ao3mTPwFw for KEANE : You're an inspiration for being honest, Thanks for sharing the same feeling as mine with Your great songs. Thank You. :)
you look just like some teenagers in this photos! hopes and fears era was a nice one!!! please upload more photos!:)
Oh My God, this pictures are so amazing! Thank You So Much Rich For Share This With Us! Lots Of Love From Brazil And The Frog Prince Squad!!
Love this pics!!! this are beautifull...xD
Thanks for the pics Richard. They're lovely. It's the white sweatshirt that is pasty, don't worry. Beautiful pic with Tom. Kind of romantic, i.e. romanticism.
Many Thanks for ALL these Great pics!! Richard!!! LOVE YOU KEANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
''a pasty english bloke on the beach in LA, i guess in 2004'' HAUHAUHAUHAUHAUHAUAUAHUAHUAHUA LOL awesome, Richard ! hahahahahahhaha Thanks for the pictures, love you boy ! :) Kisses from Rio ;**
Ciao Richard , che bello , ogni giorno ci fai trovare delle sorprese piacevolissime , che tesoro che sei ! Questre tre nuove immagini di qualche anno fà , sono meravigliose !Nella prima avete tutti e tre un' espressione spiritosissima e un pò da monelli ! Nella seconda , caro Rich , sei veramente un sogno ! Mi è piaciuto tantissimo vederti con quell' aria sbarazzina sotto il caldo sole della spiaggia di Los Angeles !E quel ciuffo di capelli all' insù ti stà sempre benissimo ! Nella terza è bello intravedere riflesso nel vetro del finestrino il magnifico viso di Tom un pò assorto nei suoi pensieri , sembra un angelo sceso in terra , è stupendo !!! Grazie Rich, mi hai regalato una Domenica fantastica ! Io oggi sono stata a passeggiare vicino al mare , ho trascorso una mattinata all' insegna del relax !Da domani invece si riprende con le solite corse perchè ricomincia la mia settimana lavorativa , quindi mi godo ancora qualche ora di svago e di riposo anche in vostra compagnia ! Un bacione a voi tre , cari Tom, Richard e Tim, un salutone da Sabrina from Catania , Sicilia !!!
Oh, very sweet idea for a Valentine gift, I loved your facial expressions, but I couldn't notice any of your favourite biscuits on that gift... Moreover, Richard, you look very very cool in your photo on the beach:) Again, thanks very much for sharing these lovely oldies, I cannot wait for more!! Lots of love from Moshie xxx
Thanks dear Rich! I absolutely love all pics, so nice see you there I hope your life has been filled with good things wishing you a excellence Sunday.Blowing a BIG kiss for my dear Tom ♥♥♥ Love, Rachel ♥♥♥ xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Hi Richard - you are a total gent for keeping us all going with the old photos - love a bit of nostalgia!!! Hope you get round to completing your photography book - if you ever had the time to start it properly? Enjoy the break from touring - even though you're probably busier than ever with recording and Amnesty etc etc. Lucky man!!!! ENJOY - We love you!!!! And Tom, Tim & Jesse too of course. Have a good week. XXXXXXX
Ah, I didn't know that I wrote that because of loneliness and anxiety.
I will say just one thing. Not everyone has a same opinion about the things and I tried to comment my opinion as logical as possible. Some might to take those as notaligic things while others take unpleasure things. Well, I wrote "useless discussions" on internet in my whole life, finally. This is the first and the last.
TIMMMMMMMMMMM I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE MY PERFECT BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (L) I FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU =D =D i have a band with my cousin, it is called INTACHABLE. we play a lot of keane's songs. we love KEANE. IS THE BEST BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OF ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ami_keaner =D (from argentina)
Rich, if you are pasty, then I am transluscent. And I live in California!!
GRACIAS RICH POR COMPARTIR CON NOSOTROS ESAS LINDAS FOTOS, NOS HACEN SENTIR MAS CERCANOS A USTEDES. OJALA SE ANIMEN A VENIR A PERU Y VISITEN LA HEROICA CIUDAD DE TACNA, AQUI TIENEN 2 FANS, PORQUE A MI PEQUEÑO DE 2 AÑOS TAMBIEN LE ENCANTAN SUS CANCIONES, SOBRETODO SPIRALLING; ES GRACIOSO OIR COMO TRATA DE CANTAR EL CORO. NUNCA DEJEN DE HACER TAN BUENA MUSICA, SIGAN ADELANTE QUE LOS APOYAREMOS, BENDICIONES PARA USTEDES. LOS AMAMOS.
Quiero un chocolate!!! haha ... gracias Richard!!
I just saw your message at twitter (late?) .... long sleeves, LA beach, sunny day... not a good combination. LOL ps: this blog is awesome, thank you very much. :D
Oh! The beach! The beach! It looks like Santa Monica, but it could also be Redondo Beach. I'm not sure. Hum......Your photos look lovely, you guys look awesome. I especially love the valentine gift one. It's so funny XDDDD take care. Have a nice day! x
"IF EVER A MOMENT SO RARE..WAS CAPTURED FOR ALL TO COMPARE..THAT MOMENT IS YOU AND ALL THAT YOU DO.." THANK YOU MR. HUGHES .
I went last night to see Tegan & Sara too.And I saw you Rich,but didn't want to bother you! Thank you for the pics. I hope that you've enjoyed your conference ._.
Richard, interesting moments ...i liked your chronology: 2005 valetine gifts, 2004 englishman in LA beach and Tom, on a tourbus... somewhere only we don't know... i can wait for more photos!!! Rich, thru these pics you are sending the love to all keane fans so it's spreading out endlessly...with tender , Regina
Oh so many memories! I always said I loved the old pics! they're my favs so far....................thanks so much for this photoblog Rich! =)
Pasty english bloke? Please. No need for a tan to be beautiful. If one is to look good it shines out of them-- as it does in your smile. You spread warmth and kindness wherever you go and I do appreciate you for it. So don't you ever go feeling that you're shut out of others' love, okay? We all love you, Rich. Take care of yourself ;)
Hi Richard, congrats about your speech !... Tegan & Sara ! Wow, did you have a blast ?... Maybe this way to open your eyes wide is contagious or then I'd better stop talking nonsense... Oh dear, France won the match by a hair's breadth but even when I try to forget ♥KEANE♥, I'm still hearing to speak about them... I was afraid that we get a nasty slap owing to a KEANE's action !... And that was a near thing... Richard 8-) Pasty-faced on a beach... Hihi !... By the way, a pasty = also un «petit pâté»... Yum-yum !!!
Tom looks so young in one of the pic he looks like he's about 17 y.o. Cheers. twitter.com/keke_jones facebook.com/keke_jones
oh Richy, let me take you around Hawaii - we have beautiful beaches here. you will have some tan in no time. and if i have to put tanning oil all over you so be it - wink wink.
Hi Ricky, what a beautiful photos!!! they brought me so good memories...everybody's changing was the first keane video I've watched on tv. you and Tom are very nice in the second one. the lovely images of Japan are the best, the Fuji mountain, the aeroplane, by the way, I have a mini plastic model of Sky Cruiser JAL plane... and finally that pic of Tom reminds me the Alphaville 80' song "Big in Japan" have a great weekend. Sayonara. Regina
nice pics Richard!!! you looks great in the second one! ... thanksssss :D
Richard, you are not alone. I too share the trait of being whiter than sour cream regardless of how long I sit in the sun. Krista P.
Dear Richard! Thank you so much for thinking about your fans, even on the weekend. You're the awesome-est of awesome and we love you!
HELOISA, ISA FROM BRASIL, SAO PAULO ********* THANKS for the new photos, Rich, they are amazing! We are suffering with the hot weather here in Sao Paulo today! Great to get home and see the pics! Thank you very much, have a nice weekend all of you! LOVE YOU! LOTS OF LOVE TO MY FAVOURITE BAND! XXXXXXXXXX
@ DearRORY I assure you I abuse nobody and nothing, nor race, age, sexual orientation,/ MSM or WSW/ IQ, or sense of humour and T. Ch. not at all ! Because of my fatigue at the end only one quote: "Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn´t misuse it." / pope John II/ Good Night, sweet dreams
MR HUGHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aww that pic of you on the beach is really nice!!...but wearing long sleeve in a LA beach? c'mon! hahah jk!....HugsAndKissesToKeane
oh, yes, more pics! well, with a long-arm t-shirt at the beach I also would feel like a snowman, lol! But, it´s the best protection not to get a sunburn! oh, and I know where Tom´s pic at: on the road, lol! wow, now I´m feeling really old, seeing you all so young! Because, when H&F was released I just listened to your music. I wasn´t at that time internet addicted, maybe I should have never bought me the O2 live-dvd! As I bought the dvd, I had it some months at home, till one night I´ve watched it. ok, enough rubbish. Thanks for the pics!
SE ME OLVIDABA ... EL VIDEO QUE MAS ME GUSTA EVERYBODY'S CHANGING, AHI (TOM) SE VE MUY SEXY.
COMO SIEMPRE" TAN BELLOS"...GRACIAS POR LAS FOTOS, A VECES NO TENGO UN POCO DE TIEMPO DE MANDARLES UN COMENTARIO, PERO QUIERO QUE SEPAN QUE SIEMPRE LOS ESCUCHO EN MI CELPHONE PARA MI SON LOS MEJORES Y CREO QUE YA LOS CONOCEN EN TODOS LADOS HASTA MI HERMANO YA SE VOLVIO UNO DE SUS FANS Y QUE NO LOS A VISTO EN NINGUNO DE SUS CONCIERTOS...DE VERDAD IM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU, SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO.
Oh, this is lovely, thank you Rich & km.com for updating almost every day - wow! Also, it always seems fruitless to me to make gifts for bands - I assume they never get them, or throw them away if they do because there are just so many of them - but I guess not! Lovely, and love the picture of Tom on a bus.
Forgot to say, beautiful green eyes, nice background.
HI, RICH. THANKS YOU!!! I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH! KISSES FROM ARGENTINA. I LOVE THIS VIDEO.
Love U 4ever Tommy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I love this pictures boys!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Great nostalgic pictures, Richard! :D
THANKS for sharing your pics with us!!!!!!!!!!! You´re amazing, you must be terribly buzy, nevertheless you take some of your time to share your photos with us!!!!THAT´S REALLY NICE!!!!!
Grazie di cuore Rich per queste tre nuove foto ! Che belli che siete in queste immagini, mi sono emozionata nel guardarle perchè ho ripensato a quel periodo del video di "Everybody's Changing ed è proprio allora che vi ho conosciuti e mi sono subito innamorata di voi ! E sì , è stato amore a prima vista e al primo ascolto , perchè la prima volta che vi ho visti in quel video oltre ad apprezzare la vostra bellezza , sono rimasta colpita tantissimo da quella musica così particolare che comunque avevo già sentito parecchie volte anche alla radio e mi era subito entrata nel cuore !!! Cari Keane , a proposito di musica: ieri pomeriggio poi le prove d' orchestra con i miei alunni sono andate alla grande ! E' venuta anche la preside ad ascoltarci ed è rimasta entusiasta! Inoltre i miei colleghi di musica ( chitarra- pianoforte e flauto ) mi hanno fatto i complimenti per la bravura dei miei alunni nel suonare il violino e ciò mi ha riempito di gioia : è fantastico lavorare con passione e impegno e aver riconosciuti i propri meriti ! Forse suoneremo anche nella chiesa principale del paese e anche al teatro comunale , i ragazzini sono molto entusiasmati di tutto questo , non vedono l' ora di potersi esibire di fronte ai loro genitori , ai parenti e ad un vasto pubblico che li ascolterà con tanto interesse !!!Vi mando tanti cari saluti , dolcissimi Keane , a presto dalla Catanese Sabrina !!!
Tnx for this fab pics!
@boggles: Tom is throwing a horseshoe.
Richard, you really are a handsome man. Love your blue eyes and your smile in the second picture of the Everybody's Changing video shoot. Oh, yeah. The guy in the brown jacket looks nice, too.
Morning Richard - lovely selection of pics as usual - thanks as ever for the continuing updates and hope all is going well for everyone!
What is Tom throwing? Gorgeous pictures as always Richard. xx
Dear Richard, thank you very much for your photo's, I particularly like the one from the Everybody's Changing video as this was the very first Keane song I heard, and is still very special to me....Aw the first cut is the sweetest....
Well, I like these nostalgic pictures very much and I´m happy to read Richard has had a nice day/night with the rest of KEANE. To me the picture of Tom and his magazin reminds me a little bit of Tokyo in rushhour. Everybody's in a hurry exept you. Kirin poster on the wall. It's just a beautiful picture, that's all. And when you're feeling lonely and afraid you should end useless discussions on internet, visit your friends and listen to some music. Have a nice weekend!
First of all, Richard, I have appreciated your photos but, at this time, I feel displeasure conversely. What is your real intention? I want to ask both of you; Denislavia and people who taking and posting the picture of Tom Chaplin reading someting. You, Denislavis, don't need to abuse others if you want to praise Tom Chaplin, sincerely. Ugly people are there all around the world regardless of their gender, status, age, and nationality. In addition, this site is open to all people and they can read comments, including the Japanese men you mention.
Richard, did you take that photo of Tom in Japan with the pedestrians rushing past? I think that is one of my all time favourite photos I have seen of yours. Not because it's Tom, but because its just such a great shot and tells a story. It's such a Lost In Translation moment. Love it!
I really loved these pics *-* Keane, you're wonderfull. I Love You
The second one... SO CUTE! Have a nice weekend. :D
QUE BUENO ESTA ESTO DE VER FOTOS VIEJAS QUE PARA NOSOTROS SON NUEVAS JJEJEJE, ME ENCANTA RICH, GRACIAS DENUEVO LOS AMO, NUNCA CAMBIEN ESA SENCILLES Y ESE AMOR POR LA MUSICA Y POR NOSOTROS QUE SIEMPRE ESTAREMOS ACA... MUA MUA MUA =)
Richie!!!!!!!!! Thanx so much xD
@Denislavia: I understand everything you say. Nice observations! There is beauty and sometimes magic or a revelation in the details. I also share your aesthetic regarding men. May you continue to keep hold of that Inner Strength; Be who you are, & share as you will.... Love, a.!
Ooooh, thanks for the sequel of "The Good Old Days" !... But about time too, Richard ! It's ridiculously stupid but as you know, we're eagerly waiting for The Messiah... Tom, I love the leather jacket (bomber style) and it has nothing to do with the blue one that gives an horrible seasickness !... Richard, actually I bet you spent a long time to unearth a picture of you with a sweat-shirt so well matched with this sinister spinach green... And I can't believe it but yet, you really reached perfection !... By the way, mischievous smile a real blessing that you had put low beams on this picture because you're very close and some people are so much sensitive to glare, like me instance... You and Tom, you were pretty as a picture at this era but you're still utterly charming at the moment... Sorry !... Richard, thanks for these pics... You can put the night-lights now and have a fab weekend☺!!!...
I am a Keane fan since 2004, I saw you on MTV in the morning on Sunday. At once I bought me the album and was bewitched. Thank you for your music, for these old pictures! And please come back to Munich again!!! Kisses from Germany (Annelie)
HELOISA, ISA FROM BRASIL, SAO PAULO ******** GREAT these new pics, thank you dear Rich! Have a nice weekend, all of you! LOTS OF LOVE TO MY FAVOURITE BAND! :.) XXXXXXXXX
These are great pictures-- they show us a time that some of us may not remember or never knew (I wasn't a Keane fan in 2004, seeing as I was a wee ignorant child of 9 and knew nothing about good music). Of course, Keane is not only about the music-- it's also about who makes it great. I think that you're an excellent photographer. Are you still planning to do that photography book with Rob? Oh, and by the way, I went to a conference about death penalty this weekend which was very interesting. It showed me how countries don't necessarily choose to keep it cos they want to, but because they are pressured to... by the US for example. Thank you for standing up-- especially since you, of all people, can make an impact. Keep on going, Rich. I'm pretty sure I speak for all the Keane fans when I say that we are all behind you 100%. Hugs.xx
Hey Richard!! Thanks for your pics, once again... I think I could spend hours and days watching pics of you, and your gigs, and your videos... It's never enough!! hahaha... Rich: Your eyes are awesome. Seriously. HUGE HUGS FROM CHILE :)
Thanks for the great pics Richard. I love the one from the airplane with the mountain sticking out. Also, it's nice to see you in the pics too, I still remember how blue your eyes were when I met you in New York May of '09. Please come back soon.
very nice! I hope you have more pics.
(please note that my comment has nothing ironical inside it, it's just the result of a discussion with one of my friends about the music band we prefer. And we disagree.)
No, definitely, you're the best.

what a great flashback!! this is awesome!
I thought you wouldn´t send any pics yet. Fortunately, , despite of your great night and day I can look at them., and I appreciate it. I think, Rich you are more handsome without beard, but with it its ok too. When I held in my hands first time "Hope and Fears" I have noticed just this square Tom´s leather jacket, I don´t know why . Ju, I don´t know with who I should be with in the situation of the end of the world. The moment of the dying isnt certainly nice and each one must "survive" it lonely. Nobody or nothing / money, impressions or unforgettable experiences .../ helps us but only our inner strength and creed. I underwent something like a clinical death and I can say that jailed soul in the infinite darkness is a awful feeling of great shock and fear....Anyway , something more cheerfully , let everything go right and nothing wrong, wherever you go and whatever you do let the luck, blessing and love be there with you,...
hey!!!! it´s great to see you have a good time!!!! i love the old photos♥
wow! Travis!! at that year (2004) I was planning to come to Spain for doing the university. Very hard year, with lots of changes.. but well, I survived :). Great to see that you all are having fun!!! are you guys are getting ready for Christmas??. As always I love the photos specially the second one (the Richard & Tom pict.) you eyes express so many happy fellings. Ow! and the photo taken by the airplain of Japan is lovely!! Is that mount Fuji??
Great Pics, as always! I love Tom's leather jacket... Lots of love from Brazil! Kisses! Bye!
Thank You! I love Everybody's Changing. Memories oldies but goodies!! Big Kiss :)*
great pic of Tom and you Richard! :) and the Everybody's Changing set ahh it's one of my favourite videos... you're fantastic! well, hope you have a nice weekend guys, cheers.
Hello Rich, thak for the pics!!!! Greetings to Tim, Jesse and Tom, and of course to you!
Oh ! I didn't know you did some gigs with Travis ! It was a very good idea ; why not to have some projects again with them ? ;)
I'm glad you all had a great time. Thanks for the pics. I love Everybody's Changing and its video. It's very simple but original. Hope everything is going well with the video contest.
today took time you to put photos, but all beautiful. fine, very good. i love KEANE
I love checking I´m not the only one who get older..............ooohhh ha!
THANKS RICHARD!!!!!BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS. LOVE FROM MEXICO (TOM BELLO)
Wonderful like ever :)
!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh I LOVE KEANE , Thanks Richard for you's photo's and thanks for hopes and fears the luxe l love !!!!!
かっこいじゃん!!!!
What a beautiful pictures! I love that one with Tommy in Japan. He looks like character from Haruki Murakami´s books :)..... lost somewhere in Japan. Thank you Richard for all pics. And have a nice weekend. Bye!
Oh dear, what a beautiful view from the airs... Thanks !... But the most hard is to spot which of these men is "the odd one in Japan"...
Grazie Richard per queste nuove foto !!! Che bello Tom con i capelli lunghi e i jeans larghi , è un look che gli dona moltissimo ! Cari Keane , io oggi ho molta fretta, tra un pò pranzo perche' poi devo andare subito a scuola : oggi pomeriggio avrò le prove d' orchestra insieme ai miei alunni , proveremo le musiche Natalizie da suonare al saggio ! I bambini sono contentissimi , non vedono l' ora di suonare tutti insieme !!! Adesso vado , un abrraccio a voi tre dalla vostra affezionatissima fan Sabrina da Catania !!! Ciao !
Hmmm, where to start...I love the shot of Tom and how you captured his stillness against the movement of the other people. Very handsome shot of Tim there too. x
The TIm pic from Japan is gorgeous!!! Cool background! A piece of scientific news that made me think of Pretend that you're alone (one of my fave PS songs). Scientists have just established the gene that is responsible for human speech. The cool thing is that the same gene in chimps differs by only two measly letters (of several hundred total) - it is pretty rare in biology that such a tiny change in one gene causes such incredible difference at the physiological level.
I love all the pictures Richiie!!, but the most I like it was when Tom is reading, haha he looks so gorgeous! and Tim in Paris, so cool! Keane, I love you until 2004!!!
I can see Fuji mountain from your picture! It's beautiful! Thank you Richard.
Tom so much taller than the Japanese folk around him..... Hilarious.
oh and p.s. I recomend the 2012 movie. Even if you don't believe or care about the end of the Wourld by that year I think it's great that this movie makes us think about what really cares and with who we should be with in any sort of that situation, as the end of the world. Lots of action and a few tears may come to sensitive "eyes" ;)
it's so funny seeing Tom much taller than the guys in front of him! Thanks for all the lovely photos Richard! It's really a great feeling looking back and remember when it all began, at lest, for me - when I met Keane and I think many of us. A few days darker than anothers but you followed your dreams and now it's real! I'm glad you have taken this pics during this experiences so we can all live and you remember it. Hope to see you soon... waiting for new songs, no matter how long it'll take. Have a great time and keep it coming. As I always say, we're lucky fans and I'm lucky to have found you when I did... hugs*
A.B. Yes, Tom is indeed handsome blonde angel/ btw it seems his hair became a little darker- hormones and sex/, not only among old ugly Japanese men....
Richard, What were you doing yesterday that you weren't able to post any pictures??
Oh, God, what an unsophisticated and a contemplative man with book or brochure is there in the picture! He looks like a mythical man of a undepraved mind. I always liked the men with girlish face,because they looked so vulnerable.../ and maybe because of the increasing level of testosterone in my blood, but I assure you , I am normal!!/. and I often or always realized that I misjudged them..... Actually is not too distinction between men with girlish face and men with look of Agent 007! Thank you very much , very nice pics, Richard. all the best
I like them! thanks
BEST PIC EVER OF TOM!!! he looks so concentrated on that little book, I bet it was a guide book or a dictionary haha, and he looks so different from tha japanese people walking by, thanks for sharing Richard!!! Kisses from Mexico =)
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★★★★ …………… THE NEW PHOTO OF TOM IS MARVELLOUS !!!!!!!!!! ...... TOM SEEMS AN HANDSOME BLONDE ANGEL BETWEEN THE COMMON PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!

Nice shot of a towering Tom vs. the Salarymen on the street in Japan. The can of coke is, er, symbolic on a couple of levels.
You're the best, Rich! Lots of love from Brazil! Kisses! Bye!
Thank you dear Rich,lovely pics Tom's pic made my day :) Yeah! he's the typical tourist...Oh God! Good morning sir! Can I help you? ;)
Richard, I can honestly say that I have never found any of your photos boring. I look forward to seeing new ones all the time :) Thanks for putting these up. xxplymouthrock
lol tom looks like a proper tourist in the 3rd japan photo!
Yeah, Richard... Thank you very much for these lovely flashbacks !... Some very touching and nostalgic messages below emerge so funny to my mind !... Well, sadly I must say I already was ♫ years old when I heard about ♥KEANE♥ for the very first time, but it's a real feelgood factor to win the jackpot or I mean quite exactly :( the bad side of forty into their pleasant company and into ecstasies of seeing them 24 hours a day !!!... Hey, high beams ! We don't believe a word that only water has been consumed here because you all look abnormally cheerful !!!... By the way, you're so awesome and I'm so dumb that I would be able to believe that this bottle too was a hi-tech phone, actually !... More seriously, given that there is a spotlight on H&F, then that's only another load of crap at early morning to come up with an excuse to say how it was so good again to open the eyes on EIC, this morning... Clearly, they ♥U at 6:52 on RTL2... And we too !!!
Interesting pics Rich as usual. Greetings from Mexico!
what Can I say...?! TRO> Simply casual, but elegant & beautiful. Merci beaucoup, Richard! Hiya, Tom! How's it going, Jesse?? Love, 'A'
