Couldn't post on the blog so thought I'd bob it down on here. The reason I came across this page was because I was gonna look steven up having not seen him since school days. Although I haven't seen steven for what must be the best part of 15 years I'm really sad to hear of his death. I remember going to watch steven G and Stephen T at the double six. I still find 'kevin is very dull' bouncing around my head to this day! He was a really lovely fella. He had a fantastic sense of humour and he and Stephen Theaker were that bit different to everyone else I used to love hanging out on rare occasions down in the music dept. I remember Steven and Stephen taking me to one side in the art cooridor to ask me to sing on a track they'd written. Never did sing it though, still was made up to have been asked. Anyway goodluck to you steven you'll be missed mate.

Steven was a couple of years above me at Oakbank School and although it was probably 15 or so years the last time I saw him, there are lots of memories, particularly working on various school concerts and shows where I can still hear him playing the hilarious part of an Italian mafiosi in "The Oakey Coakey Club". He was a brilliantly funny chap, and I'm proud to say that I was at the Double Six bar in Keighley when his band, Master Zangpan and the Mechanical Housewife played their legendary set.
I feel incredibly sad that he's gone, though I'm glad to read other peoples memories on this site as they have reminded me of him, and am also pleased to hear that he never tamed his subversive and controversial nature.
Cheers to you Steven and thanks.
