An award-winning recording artist in his own right, his interpretations of great songs by other artists have also received acclaim, and this is largely what he'll be bringing back to North Shields this year.
Join us for an evening (or two!) of quality covers, plus a sprinkling originals, all presented with Steve's passionate delivery and humour.
