Keith Fairbairn
UK Oxford

Keith Fairbairn's career has involved a wide variety of musical situations; his first professional engagements - in the fields of both classical and the avante garde - were with major London orchestras and chamber ensembles such as the London Sinfonietta and London Symphony Orchestra. 

From early in his career Keith became involved in studio work and was soon one of the very few 'first call' percussionists on the London session scene. In this capacity he has played on numerous TV shows, recordings and films &  major tours. Some of the artists, conductors and composers he has worked with include Mike Oldfield, Dionne Warwick, John Williams, Madonna, John Dankworth, Oliver Knussen, Richard Blackford, Graeme Revell and the London Jazz Percussion Ensemble.  

Keith is now mainly involved in solo performances and recordings, chamber and duo ensembles.  

Keith Fairbairn plays a custom-built DeMorrow marimba, Meinl Percussion and Musser vibraphone.
