Hiya folks! I am a London based Session Guitarist. Since February 2007 I have been playing for the Artist - Darren Hayes (formerly of Savage Garden). As a band we toured the UK, Australia twice and America twice. The Time Machine Tour was one of the most ambitious stage events to be produced for some years and attracted attention from Production magazines and thrilled Fans alike.
The worldwide tour included a sold out show at The Royal Albert Hall, Trafalger Square, the Birmingham Symphony Hall (considered Europe's leading venue), the Sydney State Theatre, Brisbane QPAC Arena, The Roxy Theatre LA, The House Of Blues - Toronto and many, many more. In July 2008 a full surround sound hi-def DVD of the QPAC Concert will be released. In addition to the band gigs - myself and Darren embarked on acoustic promo tours also in the UK, AUS & USA. These tours included countless performances at Radio stations, TV networks, Charity events, sold out venues in New York and Philadelphia and a hugely successful mini in-store tour of Borders stores across America.
I play in my own band The Great Statesmen and also play guitar for up & coming Artists such as Fiona Renshaw, Yamit Mamo & Chilli Gold. All have exciting new developments on the horizon and you'll be hearing more about them soon i'm sure. I am available for studio sessions and have recently been employed by producers to add guitar to song writing sessions and record tracks for various artists.
If you want more info about hiring me for tours, gigs, venues etc please don't hesitate to drop me line. I'll be happy to hear from you. Steve

I just had to let you know that you really stood out!! Way to go man!! Awesome!! Oh, and hey, how did the Park Sounds competition w/ Yamit go?? Did you win??? Hope all is well with you and yours!! Deluxe love 'n hugs!! X Sheryl X
Hiya Steve, my husband is also going to see Iron Maiden tonight, I told him I think he is having a mid-life crisis, he'll be buying a Harley next! Hope you enjoy it, not my cup of tea, but each to his own and all that! Debs x
Hiya Steve! Thank you for accepting my request. I just want to say that you have some wicked guitar strumming skills! My father plays the guitar, and I've always loved the acoustic sound. I think it can truly determine whether a song is a good one, or a bad one. But I'm loving everything I hear coming from you. Lovely! 8)
Hey Steve, I wishing you a nice week.. and showing some love And how are you? Im fine, but boring a bit. Because Im at home and I have summer holidays. Im finished primary school at friday .. Ok, I hope you are good :)
.. and Stevie, I like u and I think you are very talented and nice :) Eh that was embarrassing, I know :D But it is truth ;)
on Darren's new DVD!!! I had you scared for a minute there didn't I :P It's even better than I remember! And some parts I think I missed.... TWICE! And all I can think about is how I saw you all just 8 hours before this was filmed (in Melbourne!) Have an amazing week! Michelle
WOW!! Moving up in the world, Steve!! Now you are way up on the list with a girl name Dorothy & her ruby slippers and Michael Jackson with his one silver glove! hehehe Are you gonna snap a pic to show us??? hehehe Love 'n hugs, Steve! X Sheryl X
mmmm SILVER shoes, sounds interesting! Think we need a photo of those! Hope you are well, looks like you are still really busy and quite right too, you are flaming talented! Don't forget to take a break though. xx
Yeah true true.. hehe I guess a break is becoming something of a stranger when you've got so much to catch up on! I'd love to see you here in Aus! Hmmm... leads?? I can't think of anyone touring here atm though.. unless you twist Darren's arm to do a small or accoustic tour here (but I know they'll be NO chance whatsoever)..Or any chance of you doing a couple of gigs in Aus alone?? xo
Didnt you know about teens??lol. HOpe the teaching is going well, otherwise, its a challenge for sure in all ways. Wish you could teach over here,any chance ???lol. Hope things are well. Great to see you so busy. Happy thoughts to you and yours. xL
What??? I cannot imagine - Steve are aggressive???hehehe! You are dangerous for crazy teenagers...They are possibly frightened...Ugh!:) By the way, how results after your yelling?They began to play more diligently? hmmmm...I doubt... Or it new method for inspiration of musicians?
Hey Steve! Thought I'd leave you a comment and see how you've been. Hope you've been well and taking a well-earned break. Wish you could do gigs in Australia! Having to yell at annoying teenagers sucks! Hope you get over your sore throat soon. Stupid teenagers! hehe Take care of yourself xo
