Keith Leslie Smith is a former British keyboardist, once in the bands Anathema (1996, 2001-2011) and Cradle of Filth (1998–2000).
During his time in Cradle of Filth,[1] his stage persona consisted of wearing a custom Vicar Priest top, black leather trousers and goth make-up. Les was a session musician of the band Tourettes. Post-Cradle of Filth, he accused vocalist Dani Filth of considering it his own solo project ("Dani and the Filths" he jokes). However, they are on good terms these days.
Les had a tenure with Anathema, but on their official site it was announced Les quit on 13 September 2011 due to "creative and musical differences".[2][3]
