About Me

Hi there!
My name is Stevie and im currently working as a guitar tech in the uk (when there is any work going that is). Im the person you see at the side of the stage at festivals who looks like the is stood there with his arms folded doing nothing but if it wasnt for them there probably wouldnt be a show happening!!
Recently i went to Russia and the mighty Finland !! (love that place!!) with power metallers Dragonforce and next month i go on tour with THERAPY? who rock like no other. Ive worked for much quieter bands in the past like Breaks Co-op and more recently the wonderful Catherine Feeny and loved it!! So i have got a quiet side!. I actually played guitar with Ginger of the wildhearts for a few years doing nice little acoustic shows up and down the country and had so much fun i cant begin to remember it all... Good job i wrote it down at the time.
Been to most places in the world and toured with some big bands and generally had fantastic time , Check me and Mr Tyler out!! Also taken a few knocks along the way and can honestly say that the rock n roll lifestlye aint all its cracked up to be. Been doing this for 10 years now so i should really know better but hey...
JUst recently driven a big truck full of gear for some Sugababes gigs round europe and hada damn fine time of it. Although europe is very big and it takes a long time to get anywhere at 90km/h
Truck on!
Currently on tour with the WiLDHEARTS round the uk , skilfully managing to dismatle and rebuild venues across the country and rock their socks off!!
Just finished the most gruelling 3 months of my career so far. Three tours on the bounce and its now time to chill... if i can remember how to. any help would be greatly accepted!!
Just done a few gigs with Alabama 3 and what can i say!! its an eye-opener... loved it actually and looking forward for the next installment.....
HERE WE GO
Currently encamped in Putney with the Alabama 3 getting to grips with electronics and laptops . My comfort zone of guitar tech has been removed so its a big learning curve but ill manage it... oh and im the stage manager as well... get me!!!rock on!
Survived the chaos that was the Alabama 3 tour and bloody loved it too...
Well im home now and looking at a month of daytime tv and hangovers.... someone please give me a job!!!!
Like i said im currently available for work and ready and raring to go!!! even bought some new socks!!!
Drop me line......
