[sau]

He's performing in Frome, Somerset, tomorrow.

----------

A well-known Westcountry Celtic storyteller is set to perform in Frome on Saturday, 20 February at Rook Lane Chapel, Frome.

Steve began performing while still at school, eventually leaving to study politics and history in Coventry.

Downes and Beer began using Steve's songs in their live shows and regularly stayed with him when they were in the Midlands.

Steve completed a postgraduate certificate in education at Sussex University and moved to London, where for six years he was involved in the mainstream music scene.

He moved back to Dorset in the mid eighties and began supply teaching at a local school. It was here that he gave guitar lessons to Polly (PJ) Harvey.

Tickets cost £15 in advance, £17 on door. Cheese & Grain Box Office: 01373 455 420.
