Born in Cambridge, England on 21st November 1971, Steve grew up in the nearby market town of St Neots. From a very early age, one constant in his life has been music; a love for it, a need to express himself through it and - in more recent years - the opportunity to share his own songs with a growing, wider audience.

His musical influences are many, varied and not always obvious. They include - in no particular order - Graham Parker, Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam, Rush, Sam Cooke, Martyn Joseph, Van Morrison, Ryan Adams, Don McLean, Elvis (both of them) and Bruce Springsteen. Add to this a liking for most musical styles - when executed well - and it would be fair to say that he has a wide spectrum of influences informing his own distinct style and approach.

Steve´s solo gigs have been receiving wonderful feedback with reactions such as “extraordinary“ and “unmissable“.

Making a guest appearance at this gig is rapidly-emerging acoustic artist Anne Sumner from Croydon. Her voice has been likened to Tracy Chapman, Sandy Denny and Joan Armatrading and her thought-provoking and engaging songs have had airplay in Australia, Canada, the US and across Europe as well as the UK.

Anne’s latest albums ‘Beacon’ and ´Half-light´ have been receiving plaudits from the acoustic music press and radio stations since its February launch and her North East live début is eagerly awaited.

An unmissable evening of superb music from two exceptional singer/songwriters.

Genre: Indie folk,Protest song,Singer-songwriter
