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.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
