bdhudson: Reconnecting
Man, I got into my '87 Camaro, looked through my tapes (I know, time to update) and decided to put in a guy I heard on some university radio station in Toronto so many years ago. Now I'm busy playing the record with a whole bunch of German words on the cover,and transcribing it into MP3 files (which I still don't know what I'm next going to do with).
Steve Harley still makes me smile.
Since I originally heard Steve and Cockney Rebel on an obscure radio station, and the two records (analog, much better than digital) I had been able to find in Canada - ever going to play here Steve?? I'll bring my only friend, second wife (first one was practice), children, grandchildren, and anyone else I can.
Come to Canada - we'll have a pint or two!!

Stella Day: anichols: cracked record?
I'm not fussed about live CDs (or DVDs for that matter).
Perhaps the recordings made at Rochester and wherever else it was weren't up to scratch and the idea's been shelved.
Perhaps Steve and his team are musing over some catchy titles?
Perhaps the recordings have been stolen by aliens?
Whatever the case is I'm sure Rachel or Steve will let us know in due course.
But hey! Just keep on nagging if it floats your boat. (smiley face)(oh and another smiley face)

anichols: Live Cds
Sorry to sound like a cracked record but is there any news on proposed Live Cds...it will be a shame if these get shelved....what do others think?
Will they be out by November and be on sale at Birmingham?

Soyheart: Reflection
Yes, Crazyrach82 - it is indeed a small world. I have followed Steve all his career & so was highly impressed that he (or rather Mrs Harley!) chose my birthday for his son's birthday (only one day out with his daughter's birthday as well! A nice touch Steve. It was appreciated.

Crazyrach82: Luv you Steve
Steve, I don't know if you read this but I wanted to post. You have influenced so much of my life, I first hurt come up to see me make me smile back in 2000 when I was 17 and i was addicted then, I saw u for the first time when I was 18 and I rememebr Robbie Gladwell stopping for a drink with us after the gig. I heard the song and I was blown away, my parents themselves rememebered the song well as it was played at their wedding in 1976. Since then I have been to see you live 7 times and each time I am amazed as to how fantastic you are, my fave song of all tiem is Bed In The Corner, I am determined to see you live this year in line with my 30th birthday. Keep up the good work, hust bought your latest album and your music is far superior to any of the stuff the artists of today release xxx

topsy: Mrs
Steve, do you read all this stuff? If you do it gives me a small slot to explain myself a little.. I am the crazy excited woman who met you in the coffee queue on your birthday! I also met you about 6 years ago in a Ship Stores - they have closed now, owner runs a good sandwich bar in the square though. Each time I see you up close, in the flesh I burble on as I feel so start struck - all a bit embarrassing and not wanting to intrude too much in your personal time, I apologise for not saying hi to your wife, that might have seemed rude, sorry. Have booked tickets to Birmingham - will be fantastic. I sat in the sunshine on Sunday, by my care, winndows down, garden table at it's side to enjoy my sunday lunch, with my son and listening to your fabulous music -it was great. If we meet again I'll try to slow down and let you get a word in! Have been a fab since I was 15 - oops 30+ years, hey ho - it's been a great journey so far. Regards
Karen

Will there be any chance of meeting you afterwards? Any ''meet and greet''? :-) so excited, can't wait to hear you play ''Judy Teen'' and ''Sebastian'' live! x

Hi Rachel sorry to mither any news on live Cd;s from last year can we expect before Birmingham?

paul harrington: The one we have all been waiting for
Looks as if Steve will be able to save his promotion budget, the Birmingham show is almost sold out. Talk about the one we have all been waiting all these years for. Listening to the two albums over and over again, I just wonder if Steve always had it in mind to play them live with a full orchestra and choir when he wrote them 35 years ago.
Anyway i've got my front seats of the balcony booked along with the hotel so planning on making a weekend of it. It might not be one of the best years of our lives, but it's certainly going to be one of the best nights.

RachelPAtoSH: Los Angeles
It isn't looking likely any time soon, I'm afraid, Marc. Steve would love to return to play LA and many USA towns/cities.
Saturday, 10 March 2012
jess20: When are you back in Los Angeles?
Hi Steve - my first gig ever was Cockney Rebel at Leeds University when the support act was Sailor and you were number one with 'Come up and see me' - and we have both got better looking since!
I now live in Manhattan Beach, Southern California (just 15 minutes from LAX) and wonderered when you next plan to play in LA? Your records still get regular airplay on US radio so hope the cheques keep arriving.
Stay well

essexboybilly: circuits
Steve's above all that 70s circuit revival stuff...if he chosses to play a fest or Bognor for a one/two off, good luck to him. Bet they pay well and what has he got to lose? NOTHING. But to gain...new fans and satisfaction!!!!!
Wednesday, 07 March 2012
anichols: Circuilt?????

best wishes

Michael Carraway: typo!!
meant to say about Odyssey, "What's NOT to like???" Brilliant rock/disco/funk.
Tuesday, 06 March 2012
Michael Carraway: Whitehaven
Sounds great, one for Mrs C!
Odyssey - what's to to like?
I recall SH playing Native New Yorker on Sound of the 70s on Radio two and really loving it, the producer, the musicinas and everything. I hope it gets confirmed.
Tuesday, 06 March 2012
RachelPAtoSH: circuit???
Steve isn't joining any circuits, my friend. Are you a fan, or trying to stir?
What's your point?
We are considering an offer of a festival in the Lake District for SH & CR- headlining. If and when it is confirmed, we'll announce it.
Re the Live CD/DVD release ideas, when there is any news, we will let everyone know the news.

dancing diva: Mrs
Hi Steve. Although I've always enjoyed Come Up and See Me that is as far as my knowledge of you and the band went. Now, after all these years, I've become a fan! This is thanks largely to my friend Judy in Australia who is coming over to see you in November. So I went on the website to find out more and I'm hooked.
My daughter will be amazed as she's always liked your music.
Best wishes

Rogparki: Fantastic set at Butlins
Had the privelege to be at Butlins last weekend .Ok most of it was a bit Naff but travelled halfway down the country to see Steve and the boys especially . I know he had to do the seventies stuff but he managed to fit in some of his later stuff ,an amazing set ,made my weekend (I knew it would ) . To be honest Steve I was a bit apprehensive about how your "esoteric,stirring stuff " would go down ,but everyone around us went wild ! Steve ,nice to know you got home by midnight,wish you'd have been still playing then . All the talk over the next day at the resort with everyone I spoke with was how fantastic steve and the boys were . I've followed Steve for years and love the concerts and own all the CDs etc ,and he's certainly gained many more after this performance . Quality of Mercy is my favourite to date and I recommended it to all the folks I spoke to who ,prior to Saturday, only knew Steve for Come up and see me make me smile . It was a short set unfortunately but it made my weekend ,thanks Steve.
To the American Lady who wonders what a Holiday camp is ,you'd call it a resort . Two Big Entertainment halls ,swimming pool, funfair,bars ,fast food ,2 Hotels ,hundreds of chalets ,Disco etc all in one complex . OK the other bands at the 70s weekend were average at best with laptops providing most of the music but Steves set made our weekend .Dont do the 70s circuit Steve but maybe enrich it from time to time with your presence . Thanks Steve you made my weekend and also made it for hundreds of others who previously did not know just how bloody brilliant you and the band are .
Thanks Rog

Andy Wood: Symphony Hall
Aching for the Symphony Hall treat! Enjoyed Market Harborough last.It was great at wthe Leisure Centre,but you buggered up the Badminton bookings!Seems Portmeirion in the Hercules Hall has dispearsed to memory, but would love to see you and guys do it on your own.Not selfish you understand, but it is 5 minutes from my home having banished the rat race to the past.And it is a special, special place!Made a change from driving hundreds of miles, time and again for my fix!
All the best

RachelPAtoSH: Tickets/gigs
Stu - Steve doesn't intend to play any full band concerts (apart from festivals) before Birmingham. I can assure you though, the tickets/seats in the Circle, still on sale, are very good seats. It is an excellent hall. My advice: Go for it!!
