           Steve Daggett

Steve is somewhat of an institution.  He has recently performed
as a solo act, in the Steve Daggett TSteve_Daggett_10pctrio with Michael and Rachael 
Bailey, as a duo with Paul 
Liddell, and with his full 
band, Silverdirt, which
includes Phil Armstrong.
Phil is one of those 
GeorgeHarrison type of 
guitarists.  He knows how to play exactly what's needed for any
given song.  While the multi-talented Mr. Daggett played all of the rest of the
instruments, he called on Phil to add the lap steel.  A wise choice as Phil did indeed play the perfect part to 
compliment Steve's beautiful arrangement of "Shine On".    Steve has a long resume which includes a stint with Lindisfarne.  That would exclude most people from this project, Phil_Armstrong_200pctbut no one has been a greater promoter of Lindisfarne's and Alan Hull's songs than   Steve has been.  Steve has been promoting  the Heroes & Scarecrows concert at the Maggie Bank in North Shields every 
year at the 
anniversary of Alan Hull's untimely death.  H&S is a celebration of
the music of Alan Hull.  If you've never
been to H&S 
you don't know what you're missing.  A wide variety of performers play Alan Hull songs, and best of all, H&S is Steve's vehicle for raising money 
for BBC's Children In Need.

It's a great time and for a good cause.  In fact, the LindisFans Project is proud that our profits will be a portion of the total raised through Heroes and Scarecrows.  An absolutely brilliant 
songwriter with several CD's and EP's to his credit, and a true 
gentleman, Steve is perhaps the ultimate Lindisfarne fan, and 
much more.
Steve's own songs are melodic peeks into life.  In a review of his latest album, "Whithout", David Kidman summed it up pretty SD_2_30pctwell, saying, "I’m paying the guy the highest compliments here – and yes, you really do need to hear him."   
My favorite Daggett song, "The Ballad of Jimmy Forsyth", (from "Songs in a Carrier Bag"), is a timeless masterpiece.  In 
addition to being a gifted singer/songwriter, Steve is a fine producer and engineer who has a number of CD's to his credit, not the least of which was "Dance Your Life Away", though Steve worked with Lindisfarne on several recordings.
