Steve's mum Kay has kindly allowed the use of one of her private photos in the picture section showing a very happy Steve enjoying a hug from his mum.
Kay - "Steve was never happier than when he was playing the small clubs and pubs in the 80's. He once said to me-
"Mum, I'm my own man now. I play, I earn my money and actually get to keep it after I've paid the rest of the band...what more could I ask for?"
Steve was obviously happy to play to the people who adored & respected him without having to deal with record company execs.& breadheads. I remember those gigs with great affection as does Kay.
Kay would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the many fans who send cards & tributes at this time every year.
Many many thanks Kay for sharing this snapshot of Steve.
