STEVE COLLECTS CLASSIC ROCK AWARD – November 2, 2009

Tuesday, 03 November 2009 20:50

Steve Harley was last night presented with the ChildLine Rocks Special Award at the Classic Rock magazine Roll Of Honour ceremony, held in the ballroom of London’s Park Lane Hotel.

The coveted award, won previously by Ian and Jacky Paice and Bryan Adams, came as a complete surprise to Steve, who was named as recipient for his charity fund-raising. He was at the event as a guest of Bob and Trudie Harris, and completely unaware of the surprise to come.

The award cited Steve’s connections with MAG (as an ambassador for the landmine clearance agency), the National Neurological Hospital, the Hope School for Children with Multiple Disabilities and Chailey Heritage School for Disabled Children.

In his brief acceptance speech, Steve told the gathering of music industry executives, fellow musicians and media representatives that “Giving back is part of the deal when you live as privileged a life as I do. Compared to the suffering of those surrounded by landmines in south-east Asia, and the intolerable suffering of the kiddies at those schools, giving is easy.”

Steve received an ovation from the packed room, which included fellow guests Pete Townsend, Jeff Beck, Iron Maiden, Rick Wakeman, Ronnie Wood, Iggy Pop and Slash.

Steve Harley – No Mr Soft

October 28, 2009 by John Hurd

‘Mr Soft’ was the title of Steve Harley’s 1974 hit single. Harley himself though is anything but soft.
“I don’t give sympathy because I don’t expect it. Nice guys don’t make it” is a famous quote from a 1977 interview.
Harley’s concert with Cockney Rebel at Bonn’s Harmonie showed that at 58 he is still very much in both Command and Demand.

Studio CD In Progress

Tuesday, 03 November 2009 18:54

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!

Fans' Ideas Needed

Tuesday, 03 November 2009 18:15

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”.

The Lartey Sisters Come To Town

Tuesday, 03 November 2009 18:19

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.
