Steve and several musicians has spent most of September ensconced in a residential studio, recording a new CD of original songs. No title for the collection is yet confirmed, but one working title is “Stranger Comes To Town.” These are the words heard in a local village pub, spoken by a couple eating a meal, as Steve and two friends sat with a drink after visiting the studio complex last month. The couple bought Steve a Guinness!

Among the new CD tracks, Steve is keen to record a cover version of someone’s else’s song. Just one. But the choice is very wide and difficult to make.
Fans are invited to offer their suggestions. Past covers Steve has released have included “Here Comes The Sun”, which charted in the UK and several European countries in the 70s; the Motown classic, “I Wish It Would Rain,” and Bob Dylan’s “Love Minus Zero – No Limit”.
During the autumn studio sessions, Steve plans to take two days with the musicians to record The Lartey Sisters, Ashleigh, 20, and Faye, 17. The girls are from Peterborough, and write what Steve has described as “haunting, poetical songs”. Faye plays guitar, often in “open” tunings, and Ashleigh sings. The girls write together. James Lascelles and Barry Wickens will compose an orchestral arrangement for at least one song. Steve will produce the 3 tracks.
Now just £7.50 each.
Includes Jim Kerr (Simple Minds) picks classic tracks from Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel and The Beatles in Tracks Of My Years.

He will play 3 songs with Robbie and Barry PLUS Bill Wyman’s band of top session musicians.
Friday morning dawns grey and drizzly in London and, with complete trust in the optimistic BBC weather forecast, I load my rucksack (minus the wellies) into the car and set off. A quick stop for petrol and to pick up Clare, a work colleague who has not had the chance to camp or visit a festival for 20 years, then we make our way out onto the M25 and immediately wish we’d chosen a better route. As we crawl our way along in 2nd and 3rd gear for about an hour we have the consolation of seeing the rain dry up and little patches of blue appear ahead of us in the sky, roughly in the direction we are headed.
