Steve has been a member of Orpington Folk Club since 1967 and involved in its running since the 1970's. Beginning with just helping out when Dave Plane was on a gig and then becoming a resident singer/musician.
He has now also taken over the job of advertising for the club from Russ Burton who retired at the end of 1999.

His taste in folk music ranges from unaccompanied singers to full blown folk rock. This means that his own repertoire is very varied and limited only by the fact he can only play one instrument at a time.

He started learning to play the guitar at the age of fourteen with no formal training. Developing a style from watching and listening to such musicians as,
Ralph Mctell, Martin Carthy and
more recently Steve Tilston.
