Other Television Appearances
The Pop Factory
During the time of his "All I Am" album, Steve appeared on the Welsh TV music show, "The Pop Factory". The Pop Factory was not only a TV show, but it is a former fizzy drinks factory which has been converted into a first-class media production facility in its own right in Porth, Wales.
During Steve's performance on The Pop Factory, he was also interviewed and did a demostration of Mongolian Throat Singing. For more about this fascinating technique and where to experience this for yourself, please visit the website of Jill Purce: http://www.jillpurce.com
Radio Interviews and Performances
BBC Radio 2 - Friday Night is Music Night
Not long after the World Premiere of Eric Woolfson's POE at the Abbey Road Studios, Steve made an appearance at The Mermaid Theatre in London for the broadcast of "Friday Night is Music Night" to perform selections from the musical.
Steve also was interviewed in the BBC Radio London Studios by Sadie Nine.
Sadie, who is not only a radio personality but a singer/actress in musical theatre herself, was keen to bring all the listeners up to date with what Steve had been doing since his performances in Jesus Christ Superstar and Notre Dame de Paris in the West End. Sadie seems to enjoy having Steve in as a guest, and he has made several appearances on her show since.
Steve was also interviewed briefly by Radio Wales personality Kevin Hughes during their trip to Istanbul in 2004 for the Eurovision Song Contest. Oddly enough, Steve (who is from Swansea in Wales) co-wrote the French entry (A Chaque Pas, sung by Jonatan Cerrada) with Ben Jammin' Robbins. The UK entry was sung by a friend of Steve's, James Fox, who is from Bargoed, not far from Cardiff in Wales. As part of Kevin's special show about James' Eurovsion experience, the show "Turkish Delight" also featured a brief chat with Steve.
