Steve announces debut book - Traveller's Tunes! Jan 29, 2026

Steve has today announced his debut book - Traveller's Tunes!

The man who gave us the signature riffs that ignited The Riverboat Song and Hundred Mile High City and helped propel OCS to double-platinum glory with Moseley Shoals has been a mainstay of British rock since forming Ocean Colour Scene in 1989 with Simon, Damon and Oscar.

Steve joined Paul Weller’s band in 1992 and has appeared on all of his studio albums, while also joining The Specials in 2014.

In the new book, he looks back at the formation of OCS and the super-sized success of such records as Moseley Shoals.
