Polishing the sat nav, and breaking out the supplies of overcoats, Steve and the boys are heading up to The Hideout Studios soon to complete the album. Still looking for two new songs, if you got anything, send em!

Steve recently visited his old haunts, where he grew up, and caught up with his old pals which Ed caught on film.

Ed is back from Latvia (with a cracked rib - long story!), and they will both begin editing next month, as Ed wants to pitch it to this years film festivals ie. Raindance. Updates to follow...

Steve has been working on his book and Paolo Hewitt is being of great assistance. Should be available, if there is a prevailing wind, later this year.

Watch this space for updates...

Harry Goodwin V&A Exhibition 2010

As previously mentioned, we now have a date regarding the exhibition of Harry Goodwin photographs. This will be on April 30th.

The book, of the same, by Alwyn Turner is available on pre-order at waterstones and is released on 1st April.

Local writer Charlie McQuaker has penned his first book. In the shops soon.

Steve is currently producing Ed's new single in the studio, entitled "I'm leaving on a jet plane, so don't come back again".

Not really!

Ed Houghton, of Bird Feeder Films, has started the edit of the upcoming documentary, which Ed and Steve have been working on throughout the year. Only two more interviews to complete - one with Dean Powell and Frank Warren (renowned boxing promoters, and friends) and, housewives choice, the one and only Mr Dale Winton - who it transpires is a big fan of Steves music.

Congratulations to Amir Khan for your outstanding win last night (05/12).

Steve and the boys just returned from the aptly named 'hideout' (which is in the middle of nowhere, according to Steve - abandon your sat nav!)

Three more tracks in the bag. One written by Ian McLagan (ex-Small faces/Faces), now of the Bump Band. One by Dennis Greaves of Nine Below Zero. Lastly, one from the writers of Everlasting Love, Buz Cason/Mac Gaydon, who are so delighted they are sending Steve more material. So, six in the bag, four to go!

Steve`s long overdue biography is back on track after unforseeable delays. Paolo Hewitt (celebrated author of many best selling books) is set to top and tail and complete the book with steve.

Due to a heavy schedule Paolo has not been able to commit until now.

Recording at the Hideout Studio was extreemly successful and a great time was had by all. Three tracks finished and Steve is currently collecting/writing material for an album.

Ed Houghton shot five hours of film for inclusion in the ongoing documentary - work in progress.

The people who have contributed so far are:
- Martha Reeves
- Huw Llangton (Widowmaker/Hawkwind)
- Paul Weller
- Roger Daltrey (The Who)
- ...and many other friends of Steve's through the years.
