With a back catalogue stretching back 30 years and containing some of the most diverse and eclectic songs to grace one man’s career, it is no wonder Steve Harley still manages to attract large audiences to his gigs.

Opening with the wonderful The Last Goodbye from the Quality of Mercy album and Psychomodo, the fans were treated to a show of near professionalism as Steve studiously ignored sound gremlins which dogged the start of the show.

Steve finished the main set with the epic Sebastian.
