September 2010
September was a busy month for Keith, lookalike-wise. On Thursday the 23rd Keith spent the evening at Branson's Kensington Roof Gardens club/restaurant in London at an event where he was hired to meet, greet and mingle. Hired along with the UK's top Ricky Gervais and Joanna Lumley impersonators, Tim Oliver and Sue Bradbury, Keith had a brilliant time 'working' at the sixth and seveth floor venue, amongst beautful gardens, fully grown trees, flamingos, Carnival Showgirls and a Brazillian band.

On Thursday 30th September Keith was back in London again, this time at the Harrods Store as part of the launch for the new Billionaire Tycoon board game. Keith was photographed buying the game in the store, and then posing with the game outside the shop. Many members of the public cottoned on, asking for photos with the RB lookalike. One visitor from Australia even rang his partner in Perth and got Keith to say hello to her!

Keith also received a visit in September from Swiss photographer, Niklaus Spoerri. Niklaus has already published a book in Germany which included many lookalikes, and is planning a new book and wants to include Keith! Watch this space for more information.

August 2010
Keith and some friends went to Edgbaston for the England V Pakistan test match. Here Keith was immediately recognised and mistaken for RB, and during the afternoon chants of "There's only one Richard Branson" rang round the ground, much to everyone's amusement and the confusion of the Sky Sports cameramen. The cameras kept panning back to Keith and the Sky commentators could not make up their minds. "It is him.... no its not.... yes it is...".

March 2010
Keith spent an enjoyable few hours at Silverstone Race Track at the invitation of Team GCR for sponsor's day. Keith sure turned a few heads whilst hanging around the pits and even got to go out for a few laps in a Ginetta G50! Keith says, "Thanks to Robin Sherwood, Mark Stokes and all the team for their hospitality."
