A double CD album that steps back whilst looking forward...
Despite the miles and the worn out tyres we had a great week recently, playing Stirling Folk Club on the Monday and ending up on the south coast of England at Milford Folk Club in the Thursday night. In between we dropped in on Poppy's Folk & Acoustic Club in Camberley, Hampshire. All three gigs were great and huge thanks to the promoters and of course the audiences. A special mention for old friend Roger Watson who turned up at Poppy's ... Roger booked Steve for a couple of shows way, way back in the day, it was great to see him after all these years. Next show is Nairn Arts & Community Centre on July 4th for details go to the Gigs Page.
Breaking news ...after what seems like an eternity Steve will be returning to the north west in October this year to play a concert in The Chapman Studio at The Lowther Pavilion Theatre in Lytham St Annes. It promises to be a great night ... more detail to follow but tickets are now available if you follow the link.
Steve had a great afternoon playing at St Marys Church in Westonzoyland, Somerset ... very, very near to Glastonbury!! Their 'Music On The Levels' sessions are once a month, well attended and with lots of cake! Simply marvellous! Lots of people to thank including the promoter Frank, the warden Martin, MC for the day Jenny and the wonderful audience.
The stage is set ... Steve has 4 gigs coming up next week beginning on Sunday May 18th at Music On The Levels in Westonzoyland, Somerset, then Banbury Folk Club in Oxfordshire, followed by The Man Of Kent Alehouse in Rochester and finishing with a show at The Mayfly in Lowestoft, East Suffolk. Amongst songs old and new, Steve will be featuring his new single 'Never Gonna Work Again' on the back of some great reviews, airplay and general approval! We think you'll agree, that is a fair few miles! Go to the Gigs Page for a full breakdown of dates, ticket information, start times etc.
By the way congratulations to Banbury Folk Club for the most un rock'n'roll picture of Steve you will ever see ... Where did that come from?

Thanks for listening,
Steve has a new digital single release out on Thursday April 3rd and it is a track titled ‘Never Gonna Work Again’. The song has been a staple in Steve’s ‘live’ set over the last couple of years with lots of people asking where they can hear it. Well, here it is!
This recording features acclaimed folk musician Andy May contributing a beautiful piano accompaniment. The track was recorded and produced by Dave Maughan at Face Musical Productions in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. The lyric was originally inspired by the effects of redundancy and unemployment in the traditional industries, particularly shipbuilding. It continues to resonate today as we enter the world of AI and digital technology.
The track is released by Lucky Smile Records/Proper Music Distribution and will be available to stream and download through all online platforms. More information to follow.
