Steve was a brilliant whistle player,ex Treasurer of the Morris Ring, ex Custodian of the Morris Shop and lots of other stuff besides. I first met Steve when he was playing in a band in Bradford called Wool Exchange in 1987. Good bloke,I'll miss him. JP2. |

Steve spent many Christmas Days with us and my memories are full of laughter and smiles like the year he turned up with a new bucket and mop for us all beautifully wrapped up in Christmas paper; or the party when we had three bodhruns playing as noisily as possible trying to wake him when he had dozed off (that was before he lost his weight) or the bonfire night when a rocket stick came hurtling back down and missed him by inches! We were so glad when he settled in his last flat having moved him three four or was it five times. I felt I knew his stuff better than he did. That whistle playing will be something for the angels to compete against now. |

I didn't know you were on Mudcat. I believe that the Morris Ring are in touch with Steve's sister, so when arrangements have been made, we should get the information. Geoff. |
