Steve Harley acoustic and electric - Class act still wants you to come up and see him!

Charismatic Steve Harley heading out on tour with acoustic and electric support

Widely considered one of the most charismatic performers on stage, Steve Harley continues to play to sold-out venues across the UK and Europe.

For Steve, life on the road is more than just a job, it is almost life’s blood, writes Martin Hutchinson.

Steve’s music has always been enjoyed on many levels, melody, lyrics and comment.

But Steve has always liked to be at the forefront, one of the pioneers of the acoustic or unplugged tours.

In fact in 2018 Steve received a Lifetime Achievement Award for Acoustic Music from the Acoustic Festival of Britain.

With a string of hits under his belt including the one that he describes as “my pension” –Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me) – he likes to keep things fresh for his shows.

For his dates throughout the spring and early summer, Steve will be playing gigs in separate formats ... The Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel Electric Band, The Steve Harley Acoustic Band, The Steve Harley Acoustic Trio with James Lascelles and Barry Wickens.

Strangely, he doesn’t have too many problems switching between formats.
