Steve Fromage, Solo entertainer

Good question. To be honest, rather than trying to create a setlist that I think people will like, I've created a set that I really like: Hopefully that travels well to the audience.

If you've ever seen Fight Club, you'll understand why I threw The Pixies into the mix

Here's the list so far - can add specific songs for private functions with enough notice (2 weeks)

On the music page of this website. What you hear is exactly what you get live.

My name is Steve and I've been in bands for many years, and as I have a PA in the garage I thought I might as well have a go at solo work. I play largely Britpop - not just from the 90's, but from the Seventies to the Naughties. I do a few American artists too, but it's mainly home-grown bangers from the British Isles.

Ahh I'm from the 'Las Vegas of Lancashire' - Blackpool on Sea. If you've never been, you should try it. I play all over the UK though.

I've been in bands for over 30 years, I'm scared to actually work out the exact number of years. I've played in many bands over that time, sometimes up front, sometimes on bass, mostly on guitar and backing vocals. Some original, some covers, some tributes.

In terms of sheer popularity, I guess Ska Face were the most well known - so here's a blast from my past...

If it's a private function, planned ahead of time, yes. If you ask me on the night, it's going to be a no. I work to backing tracks so if I don't have the track, I can't do the song. 😃

The list is endless: From 'works Christmas parties' to pubs to clubs to casinos to private parties. You name it, I'll be there!

Yes - just let me know where you are and if there is any overnight accommodation available. If your mate owns a tasty little boutique hotel, that kind of thing sways me. 😎

Please god no.

Yes - but it's on the proviso that I am utterly dreadful and everyone hates it. Contact me directly for more details. It's never happened yet, hence my confident offer!

Normally 2 x 45 minute sets is plenty, but I could play for 2 hours if you wanted.

Yes - I'm fully self-contained: PA, amp, laptop, lights, mics, cables, guitar, pedals, that all important roll of Gaffer tape, a first aid kit and a Swiss Army knife.

And a wee torch for if it's dark where I'm setting up. Head on over to the Gear page if you like geeking out to such information.

How loud would you like it to be? The answer's 'Yes.' Because everything is controlled from the desk, we can set the sound levels to suit the event. The only thing you cannot turn down is a live drummer.

There are live recordings from The Brew Room in Blackpool on the 'Music' page of this site...

Not much - it depends on where it is. Things that reduce the price include luxury overnight accommodation on far off gigs. Things that increase the price are 2nd floor load-ins accessible by a grease-laden fire escape. Please note that I am not interested in unpaid gigs which would be "great exposure for me" 🙄

Not really - although slipping me £20 to renew YouTube Premium can go a long way in a pinch. Plus my lighting is designed for purposes other than Disco - so it's best if I say no - same goes for Karaoke.

I'm a night owl so that's fine by me.

Depends on the charity. But always ask - use the contact page to get in touch.

Absolutely. Especially sales force events. I've been in that type of environment my whole life. If you have a bit of budget I can even write a song for the team or for an individual. It makes life easier if you know of a band you'd like it to sound like. Please allow 4 weeks notice for this offer!

No - but I am dead funny.

Absolutely: I will win them over with a combination of top tunes and witty repartee. Failing that, I'll leg it to safety.

It's all about the Benjamins baby. Only joking, I just love playing. The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. Plus I'm only in one other project at the moment, and that's an Iggy Pop Tribute which does about 12 gigs a year-ish. I've got room for a few more gigs! 🍔
