Appearances

Katsionis has appeared in various small-time bands over the years (Skyward, Retrospect etc.), most of them projects he developed himself, before gaining more recognition with the likes of Firewind and Outloud.

He started playing keyboards when he was 10 years old and, four years later, began learning guitar. Bob cites Kevin Moore, Jens Johansson and Keith Emerson as his main keyboard influences. As well as playing keyboards, Bob is also a seven string guitar player and has played both instruments in his various bands. For instance, when Firewind play live, he performs in a dual role as keyboard player or rhythm guitarist (or both), depending on the song. He uses a standard six string guitar in these circumstances. Bob also has released three instrumental albums with his solo project resembling mostly jazzy neo-classical/progressive metal. and has also joined his idol's Timo Tolkki (ex-Stratovarius) band Revolution Renaissance for the recording of their album "Trinity" without making any live appearances.

19 Keys

19 Keys was a British game show that aired on Five. It aired five nights a week from 10 November to 5 December 2003. It was hosted by Richard Bacon.

Format

Four contestants each stand at a podium inside a glass cube. Each of the podiums has a panel with 19 squares on it, each representing one of the show's 19 keys. During the first two rounds of play, the host asks a series of questions, correct answers would randomly eliminate one of the show's 19 keys on that contestant's panel, whereas incorrect answers would cause one key to be relit.

In Round 2, the contestants have the option to answer a question for themselves or pass it to one of their opponents in the hope that they get it wrong. Upon reaching seven keys eliminated, the contestant could either relight one key each on two of their opponents' panels or two keys on one opponent's panel.

However, in round 3, contestants are given a choice as to how difficult each question was, with three levels of difficulty. As the game progressed, two timers, a clock timer and money timer would run concurrently with one another.
