   Hi,
Not known to be a major drummer anywhere and no one will Confucious him with anyone else, but he is in a lot of far out things, and specially things out in left field somewhere.

He really helped a lot of these things shine, and is always a special treat hearing him on any Roy Harper album ... and while no one ever knew that, it was his drums in several of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells versions. I think Mike knew him from the early days with Kevin Ayers and/or the very early HARVEST breakfast days.

Steve Broughton Band
Roy Harper - Lifemask
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Roy Harper - HQ
Roy Harper - Bullinamingvase
The Radio Actors - Nuclear Waste)
Roy Harper - The Unknown Soldier
Mother Gong - Robot Woman

Psychic TV - Dreams Less Sweet

RIP and a tip of the hat and a comforting hug to Edgar ... who worked with him in so many albums on their band, and how special many of those albums were!

	Great drummer and all around good guy. From his work with The Edgar Broughton band to his fine work with Roy Harper. Steve was also a multi instrumental who was accomplished on guitar and keyboard as well. RIP.
