Procol Harum at Keitelejazz Festival, Finland

23 July 2009 • Photos from François Courvoisier

François kindly sends these illutrations to BtP from Switzerland, with a note: 'Hope you are well since this very special PH concert in Aänekoski! Please find enclosed a selection of my pictures of this memorable 23 July 2009. As I haven't a camera as sharp as Jens's one, I could not avoid a kind of flou artistique ... Hoping to meet you soon in a 'normal' PH concert.'

Because of Gary Brooker's indisposition (story here), Geoff Whitehorn held the announcements together

Manager Chris Cooke was in close attendance behind the pianist, and medical staff wait behind Chris

Matt and Josh hard at work

Geoff, Matt and Josh ... this wounded Procol Harum was nonetheless a powerhouse

Before the show, full of expectation yet aware of Gary Brooker's injuries: François (right) with

(too busy guzzling to look at the camera, eh?)
