Keating and Sands were one of the earliest and best of black-face musical acts.
They formed an alliance in the 70’s, which practically continued until Mr. Sands’ death.

Subsequent to the death of Sands, Mr. Keating worked with several partners, notably Harry Barton, Harry Leopold and Tom Ardell. He was also of the team of Keating and Harris.
