Steve’s guitar collection, info about band mates, musical chums and upcoming gigs
Steve started playing in 1965 and moved into the UK pub and club circuit with various bands in the the early 1970's. He migrated to the UK Folk scene in 1978 playing 100's of gigs with the duo Tall Story alongside Merv Sterry. They appeared on BBC radio on a number of occasions. From 1984 until the the early 1990's he worked with Colin Reece, one of the finest singer songwriters from South East England. This duo, often joined by the world class electric fiddle player Ian Cutler allowed Steve to combine acoustic and electric guitar playing across folk and rock styles, and they became a fixture at folk festivals - although often playing very little folk music!!. Steve also worked in Scandinavia with Colin during 1985 on a 15 date tour. For the last 20 years Steve has worked with a variety of Folk artists at gigs, festivals, barn dances and recorded two solo CD’s
