STEVE HARLEY PERFORMS AT<br />
NOTTINGHAM’S HIDDEN GEM<br />
by M P Promotions<br />
an ode to southwell<br />
croquet club<br />
by Julie Broome<br />
Widely considered one of the most charismatic<br />
performers on stage, Steve Harley continues to<br />
play to sold-out venues across the UK and Europe.<br />
On <strong>May</strong> 7th Steve will be playing Nottingham’s Albert<br />
Hall with his Acoustic Band. Steve has been playing<br />
live shows around the world for over 45 years and<br />
the thrill of another night in another place to another<br />
audience has not dimmed at all.<br />
For Steve, life on the road is more than just a job: it is<br />
almost his life’s blood.<br />
“We have real adventures on tour, “says Steve. “I’ve<br />
seen the Northern Lights, the Midnight Sun and<br />
dozens of wonderful galleries, museums and great<br />
cities, all on my down-time. I have a great life as a<br />
Wandering Minstrel!”<br />
The acoustic sets for <strong>2022</strong> will include songs from<br />
the new CD, plus a selection from the vast and<br />
eclectic Harley Songbook. Mr Soft, Judy Teen,<br />
Sebastian and the legendary Make Me Smile will all<br />
be re-produced in the unique acoustic style.<br />
Rod Stewart, who covered Steve’s song “A Friend<br />
For Life”, describes him as “One of the finest lyricists<br />
Britain has produced.”<br />
The Albert Hall was built at the turn of the century<br />
and designed in the style of an Edwardian music hall.<br />
It is renowned for generating a great atmosphere<br />
and giving the audience a really intimate experience.<br />
