It is with great sadness that I announce the death of fellow guitarist and friend Steve Fowler.

Steve was a great friend, and I feel honoured to have had the chance to know him, work with him and share music with him. Among other things, Steve was a great guitarist – one of the finest I’ve ever known, and a talented producer.  He helped build my custom electric (well, built most of it really), engineered and produced most of my early classical stuff, and helped me get started playing live classical/fingerstyle jazz stuff (hell, he taught me most of the arrangements, some of which I still play). I thank God for putting him in my path.

Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.
