Re:Dvd with the 5 cd box set 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago
Greetings.
Steve remembers Mick Rock was the director of the Black Or White video. It was filmed in Studio 3 at Abbey Road. Yvonne Keeley made the hoodie Steve is wearing. He would have been miming in snyc, of course, although at times on this it looks as though mouth and recording are way out of sync! Roualt58 has some great contacts, or magical research skills! We'd be very happy to have more of the obscure films and radio performances he has unearthed uploaded to the website. Roualt58 - anytime!

Latest Diary Entry
DIARY 04/06/13
Just heard some of my team spotted Mike Johnstone in the bar of our hotel after the Buxton concert. If true, wish I’d spotted him, too. I would have said hello. We’ve met a few times in the past. “Hello, Mike”.
I’m not normally a big fan-type person. I don’t even go to concerts. This all changed when I discovered Steve Harley.
I discovered him by accident a little over a year ago. I was on Facebook when a friend-of-a-friend posted a music video of Steve singing “Make Me Smile.” It was the one where he was wearing the brown bomber jacket with the fox collar. I like my friend’s taste in music usually, so I listened to it. This time, I liked it so much, I listened to it twice. Later, when I had some free time, I looked up Steve Harley on YouTube. I believe the first song I heard there was “Sebastian” from the old Live from London DVD. My mouth fell open. I thought, “WHY on EARTH have we never heard of this guy? He’s brilliant!!”
I spent weeks after that, approximately two hours every night, searching out every video I could possibly come up with. I felt like an archaeologist, unearthing treasure after treasure. I couldn’t believe the body of Steve’s work. There was so much of it, it was very varied, and there wasn’t a bad song in the entire repertoire. Then I came across an interview—I believe it was in Ireland—where after the interview, the interviewer asked Steve if he had a website and Steve answered that it was www.steveharley.com. I went there and registered, then held off for three days. I knew I had to say something because I was so moved by his music, performances and persona. Finally, I introduced myself and Steve sent me a free DVD!! He even wrote on the website when time passed and I hadn’t received it yet, asking me if it had arrived. Who does that? Who cares about his fans enough to write whether or not they had received a complete gift from them? Someone special with a big heart, that’s who. And the rest of my presence on the website is history.
