Steve Cradock - Travellers Tunes

SlopeSoarer

Steve Cradock is a guitarist I've admired for many years. Never saw him with Ocean Colour Scene but have seen him with other bands over the years. The other night I went to see him in Pwllheli and he was excellent, well worth watching.

The night started with his dog walking on stage and settling down in a guitar case (or something) before the band came out. The band consists of his wife, son and daughter on merch. Who doesn't love musical families!

Steve is a great musician with some nice banter. Recommended!

A couple of songs from the night...

Lovely vibe about all of that. How was it recorded?

Yes it was one of those evenings where it felt like a privilege to be there! Re recording it was just on my old budget Xiaomi Redmi Note 10.

I watched half of this last night, so need to finish it. 

Really enjoyed listening to Steve, I didn’t realise that there was a book released to go with the tour.

Always loved him. Looked recently to see what he's upto. 

Apparently massively into chemtrail conspiracy theories as bad as a fruitcake ex Southampton player.

Saw Steve at The Beam in Hertford couple of months ago, brilliant gig and very funny. His album The Kundalini Target is well worth a listen. I bought some merch afterwards and got a picture with him, had a very quick chat and he came across as a very cool dude. 
My brother met him years ago at an OCS gig and he managed to get my LP pickguard signed by him. Most of the autograph is worn off now as I continued to gig that guitar with the pickguard on for many years. Sometimes wish I'd preserved it but I think I got more enjoyment having it on display every night I was playing.

his wife isnt particularly nice either. Massive tommy robinson fan, which is so bizarre that weller doesnt seem to have an issue.
