Steve Pilgrim

In this episode, we finally sit down with Steve Pilgrim. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, so buckle up and hold tight. Steve is a drummer, guitarist and singer-songwriter (with five solo albums to his name to date). He’s an archetypical collaborator, probably best known for his work with Paul Weller.We talk to Steve about what it’s like to play alongside such legends as, John Power, Howie Payne, Steve Craddock and Paul Weller. We also discover why Scouse Music has ‘Elbows’, what it’s like to go to Scouse Music School with John Power, how Steve Craddock’s soundscapes can move you to tears and how you can lose your way during a live Weller performance, and somehow survive to tell the tale!We also hear about his incredible entrepreneurial drive too, exemplified by the amazing concerts he promotes for ‘St Michael’s Live’, hosted at the unique St Michael In-The-Hamlet Church, Aigburth, Liverpool. Both Paul Weller and John Power have appeared and performed live at this beautiful venue. Steve’s enthusiasm for music is infectious, and all of these musical experience and more, have shaped the artist he’s become. It was our absolute pleasure to talk to get to talk to him, as he rehearsed for an upcoming tour with Paul Weller.
