Steve
Whalley Band
Steve
Whalley has drawn the attention and consequently forged working
collaborations with some of the very foundations of British and
American popular and traditional music. Artists include Chuck
Berry, Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, James Burton, Gerry Rafferty and many
more.
Steve
replaced Noddy Holder in Slade for 16 years from 1992 and toured
extensivly with them internationally. Wherever he appears
audiences are left spellbound by his powerful and emotive
delivery. His guitar style combines immense power and
unorthodox savvy, raging from Cooderesque Slide/Bottleneck through
Gospel, Soul, Rock and Reggae & Country. He has appeared
on Glastonbury Main Stage 4 times and is an old friend of Michael
Eaves. Steve is now signed to Spectra Records USA and has an
album with them plus his music is featured in films.
Steve and
Richie go back some 40+ years and developed quite a following in the
Glastonbury community back in the day with the band they formed
named "Nice One". They were the go-to band and it has to be
said, true pioneers of the Glastonbury story, playing the Main Stage
on numerous occasions
