Keith being a community minded sort of bloke is always willing to get involved with local events. A couple of years ago there was a big charity event organised at Cannich Hall. Keith volunteered to do an hour at the start of the evening. Being a true pro, Keith stating he was 'feeling fired up' insisted on a 'warm up' an hour before the concert began.
Now the webmaster, living within spitting distance of Cannich Hall could hear quite clearly the Singing Postie going through his routine. He remembers quite well, after only a verse of that well known Deep Purple classic 'Smoke on the Water' the deafening sound of the hall fire alarm followed shortly by the wail of sirens as the emergency services poured into Cannich fearing a major incident.
Seemingly Keith wishing to add a bit of realism to the song had started up his newly acquired smoke machine. Unfortunately no one had given a thought to smoke detectors being fitted in the hall, let alone the key to turn off the fire alarm system. In any event most of our local fire unit had tickets for the show so no damage was done.
