Biography - Josh Keeling

Keeling is the only member of Random Perception who has joined the band twice. He first came to Pembrokeshire after moving from Stoke however when he arrived in his new home he found himself between bands for some time. Whilst jamming with various musicians to find a band to call his own he came across Steve and Ger and played a couple of sessions with them. Sadly at the time there was no vacancy for him at the time and so they couldn't continue playing together. Some months later Josh got a call from Steve asking if he played bass. Keeling being a couple of different instruments (bass happening to be one of them) then decided to temporarily fill the big shoes of Matthew Cummings, who'd left to focus on his business (every bodies got to earn a living!).
Keeling eventually stopped playing bass for Random Perception and slot was later filled by Cai Martlew (who in as it happens knew him from other bands they'd worked in together).

The second time Keeling was invited in was to fill his current role of playing drums. After professional differences caused complications between the other band members and Chris Clarke they had to part ways. After a lot of discussion between Steve, Ger and Cai they decided to get in touch and audition him with the idea of trying out others, but as it happened Josh immediately clicked very well and so he was asked to play.
