With a musical heritage of playing bass guitar in 90’s rock bands, Steve discovered folk music later in life and by stumbling into a folk session at his local pub (Kimpton), he felt immediately at home with this community. The storytelling song writing and the energy and passion of fellow musicians playing together was something that lit a spark within that has never left him. 

Doing the hard yards of folk sessions, floor spots, open mics, support slots, busking, pub gigs, coffee shops, wine bars and playing on London underground, Steve slowly developed his song writing skills and learned how to play in front of crowd (who rarely listened) but always clapped politely. Eventually the gigs got bigger and crowd less rowdy with support slots at Cambridge folk club, Hitchin folk club, Redbourn folk club, Watford folk club, Royston folk club and appearances at Ely folk festival, Balsock, Kimpton Folk Festival and the Great British folk festival.

Working closely with producer Dan Wilde at Gladeside Recordings and multi musician/arranger Phil Sheldrake at Vicarage studios on two EP’s and recently released album ‘The Corran Ferry’ Steve has had radio play on BBC Cambridge, BBC Essex, BBC 3Counties, Cambridge 105 and a host of internet based international stations (America, Australia, Canada) with the Invisible Folk club, Blues and Roots. Short listed two years in a row for Folk and Roots International song writing contest, as well as Watford Folk club song writing competition.
