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..

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.

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.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
