Hi Jaysay. I knew Steve very well. His mum and dad were Brenda and Alf (Alf also suffered from chest complaints), They used to have a toffee 'n train shop across from King Georges Hall around where Waves is now. Steve used to work in the shop, good bloke, do anything for you. In the 80's he took a shop up 4 lane ends in Blackburn and I rewired the place for him. As for his keyboard skills, he was excellent, nearly persuaded him to play in Kyte with us but his health wasn't really up to it. I was quite close to all the family, but haven't seen Claire and the kids since the funeral, very sad. He used to come and watch us when he was up to it, last time was about '94, when I was in a duo, but after that he went down hill fast. I used to go round to see him before he died, tried to persuade him that he should be doing more music, but he hadn't really got the energy. Rock on Steve!! Tony
