Steve Harley

Steve has been playing Live shows around the world for over 45 years and the thrill of another night in another place to another audience has not dimmed at all. Make me smile (Come Up and See me), reached NUMBER ONE in 1975 in the UK and many European countries and has been recognised by the Performing Rights Society as one of the most-played singles in British Radio history. Steve has written lyrics for several other artists, including his old friend Rod Stewart who has called him "One of the finest lyricists the UK has ever produced."
