Biography
With help from Marillion co-lyricist John Helmer, Pete Trewavas, drummer Paul Craddick and singer Hannah Stobart, Steve released his first solo CD in 1996: The Wishing Tree's album Carnival of Souls. This album was re-issued in 2001 with new artwork and an enhanced portion featuring rare Wishing Tree video and sound clips.
Over 10 years on, the follow-up album Ostara is released on 23 March 2009
Steve continues to compile photographs of life with Marillion from his personal collection for publication in a book. At this time, there is no definite plan for release, but his Postcards from the Road website features a small selection. Steve comments, "Marillion is my first priority!"
Steve also frequently moonlights as guitarist with blues band Stranger by the Minute.
