About Me

Inspired by the craftsmanship of songwriters like Dylan and Drake, Steve Dagleish ditched a successful banking career in 2003 to pursue making music. Following songwriting workshops with Willy Russell and Ray Davies, Steve is focused on writing, recording and performing.Steve performed close to 30 gigs in 2006, including London's Bush Hall & Spitz, headlining at the Troubadour and the Betsey Trotwood. He also played at New York's Mo Pitkins and in a couple of venues in California before closing the year with a gig at Goa's Alpha Bar on Christmas Eve. Recently unstable through protracted morphine usage - spinal surgery should have sorted that - now vertical and opiate-free, a new album on the way 'The Morphine Diaries' and - at last - gigging again!

Sounds Like: From the Kilburn Times, London ... The folk/blues riffs echo Dylan and Neil Young, the Jansch/Davey Graham stylings are finger-picking good, elegiac strings evoke Nick Drake or George Martin.
