Steve Harley
Steve Harley began his singing career singing in London folk clubs (Les Cousins, Bunjie's and The Troubadour) during the early 1970s. He later joined folk band Odin as rhythm guitarist and co-singer.
As he was constantly writing songs, he formed the group Cockney Rebel. The band signed to EMI for a guaranteed three-album deal in 1972 and released The Human Menagerie early in 1973. From this collection, a single, ‘Sebastian’, became a huge European hit, staying at number one Holland and Belgium for many weeks. Other Cockney Rebel and/or Steve Harley albums are: The Psychomodo, The Best Years Of Our Lives, Timeless Flight, Love's A Prima Donna, Face To Face (Live), Hobo With A Grin, The Candidate (all EMI), Yes You Can, Poetic Justice and The Quality Of Mercy.
One Cockney Rebel single, ‘Make Me Smile (Come Up And
Following on from Sebastian, another song written by Steve, The Coast Of Amalfi (La Costa Di Amalfi), performed by Hans Peter Jannsens, with Steve adding a shadow-vocal, is available for download.

Radiate simply, the candle is burning so low for me
Generate me limply, I can't seem to place your name, cherie
To rearrange all these thoughts in a moment is suicide
Come to a strange place, we'll talk over old times we never spied

"We're now at the end of the trek, lodged overnight in Las Vegas. This is only the second time I've had access to the internet to send this report. But we have trekked and struggled for five long days and most must be feeling tired. I am. And then tonight the adrenalin will recede and the fatigue will kick in and replace it. As I write, at 6:20pm (8 hours behind UK time), I feel that sleep is likely to be the choice after dinner. The tables, through which I'll be strolling as I head for my room, will attract my eye for sure. And I may play a hand or a fist of blackjack. But see a show? No chance. And the truth is that I don't like being in this city. Never have. It is full of fat suburbans with no sense of culture and it is too noisy, so incessantly noisy, for me. After the amazing solitude and peace we all felt through Death Valley, this is a culture shock, and that's the one and only time you'll see me use the word culture in the same sentence as the words Las and Vegas."
"Check your atlas, or go Google Earth and see where we've been. Beatty Junction to Stovepipe Wells and Panamint Springs, and Furnace Junction; tiny settlements in an arid land, all pioneer locations, and off the road, a few miles off, ghost towns once thriving with '49-ers, but run down since the gold rush; and the mines were finally abandoned in the 1920s. There is much to tell of this fabulous trek, but this isn't the time. I shall raid my copious notes when I get back and write in more detail."
"Some of the volunteers here will find it difficult to explain to their families and friends and sponsors what they have been through out here - 60 miles a day on a cycle, uphill for an unrelenting 16 miles on more than one occasion in blistering heat.....It'll take a while for it to properly sink in, I reckon. This is a fine group of people, from all walks. It's been a fine and life-enhancing experience. Next week, Cheltenham; the greatest festival of racing imaginable, and I will be there for the Gold Cup. That'll be something, but little will compare with this trek. Little is likely to come even close for quite some time. I love an adventure. You know what I say: the answer is yes, what's the question."
"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a Heaven for? Many here have probably exceeded their own reach several times over. They will read this (I hope) and know what Mr Browning was meaning. More to come............. SH"
"This is the first time I've been able to connect to the 'net. No mobile signal at all. And NO PHONES in bedrooms in these cowboy hotels!"
"I am fine. It is an arduous trek. 56 miles today for most (some, myself included due to tandem limitations, took refuge in a support vehicle for some time, though never for long and one at least was carrying injuries from a fall) in very high temps. Reached mid-80s mid-afternoon, and no shade. None anywhere. It is phenomenal country. But all is beauty through geography. Little or no bird life - some saw an eagle today. I missed it. It is barren, forbidding land, and several suffered mild sunstroke today. Tom, my pilot, is good and I can cope well through my own brand of insouciance. It is hard, this one. Hard even for some very fit men. The 7 women cyclists are formidable. All have finished the course so far, with great courage, determination and dignity - rather as wise men have come to expect of women really."
"No mistake, this is tough. But so are women. We're not halfway through, but I can be sure this will live long in the mind."

(Daily Express - Wednesday 7th June 2006)
The Mines Advisory Group has once again invited Steve to lead a trek to raise landmine awareness, this time to the hottest place on earth - Death Valley.
Steve was in the vanguard of a 350-mile trek around Cambodia for MAG in 2003, and responded to their latest invitation with the words, "How can I say no? It's a fantastic opportunity to see one of the most desolate and inaccessible places on God's earth, and another chance to raise the problem of landmines, still a major issue in many far-east lands, and African nations, in the UK media. Being a gambling man, I have a highly-developed sense of adventure, so I can't help myself when a chance like this comes up. Life's for living. I live this way: the answer is yes, what's the question? All things being equal, I'm in!"
The trek will be looking for volunteers to take part, departing the UK in early March 2007, and cycling 250 miles through the Las Vegas/California landscape, in temperatures of up to 120f.
Each volunteer will need to raise in the region of £2, 650 in sponsorship. For the complete package and official information, please visit the MAG website www.mag.org.uk And see what you'll be missing.....
Visitors to this, official Steve Harley website will, as before, be given the opportunity to sponsor Steve. More to follow.
