I used to go to the Half Moon alot in the late 70's early 80's and remember him but after 1984 never really went to the Half Moon.

I saw Tom Robinson there, George Melly and a great blues band '9 Below Zero' I think he played with them from time to time (I may be wrong).

Good luck with you search.

Soundcheck Magazine from January, 2002 states:


OK! Steve Smith, the indefatigable front man harmonicist/vocalist and fun filled South London legend, retreated to his Scottish Highlands abode....and mentions taking 15 hours to come back to Londonfor a Gig with his Group=Ruthless Blues.


I, also used to see SS with Rod Roche and others at The Half Moon and used to see Nine Below Zero, regularly, at various Venues in The Old Kent Road with Dennis Greaves, from Walworth, as their lead guitarist.


Before 9BelowZero he was the Leader of "Stans Blues Band" who played various South London Venues including te lamented "Apples and Pears" Pub in Rotherhithe where he played in the street on an extended lead!


Great Days..

No Eliza.


Used to see "Airship"// "Sprinkler" // "Laurie and Co. a.k.a. "Blunderbuss" who had a Residency every Fri/Sat/Sun for many years at The Thomas A'Beckett Pub, all in The Old Kent Road.


Also used to see Stevie Smith in The Late Steve Waller's Band at various South London Venues and regularly saw "The Foster Brothers" as well...Good Era for Pub Bands.

Were you the Guy with the Headband who like a pint or three?

Hi, did any of you guys ever go to the old Brockwell Park Tavern when the publicans were an old plump guy and an even older thinnish landlady? questions, questions....also, did any of you ever go to the crystal palace park bowl and see such likes as melanie, dylan, did anyone get soaked one time and had to sit in black bin bags? Oh the joy of reminiscing.

    • Shop was closed today & flowers left outside….. the funeral couldn’t be so soon, could it?
    • After I contacted them via online chat the assistant said, "Sorry I don't know what happened", basically. She offered to rebook the pickup but I said there was no time to try a third time. I got a refund and sent my parcel through the post office instead.
    • Not about banging saucepans or clapping them. They do great work, but an 8.3% in 5 months. What happened to reality. And Starmer got a total battering at PMQ's today, was well worth watching seeing Kemi lay it on him and watching him squirm.
