This is a rough mix of a track was that was recorded at the Vortex Studios in Stoke Newington in 1990 (Stevo had moved up to London a year or so earlier), we recorded a few tracks there. The band that was also called World of Trash (Stevo on vocals, keyboards and drums!!!, me on guitars and keyboards and Maria on vocals and backing vocals on  a few of the studio tracks) was shortlived, but Steve and I collaborated on a few more projects until his death in 2004. A truly talented and inspirational man and my best mate, sadly missed. I've got loads of stuff that he and/or recorded both back in the weston days and in London if anyone is interested.

‘Music is like time travel’ my wife once said to me.
She’s absolutely correct - and it gave me an idea for a song ‘Radio Time Machine’
I felt it had something missing, and had ‘Beatle-esque’ chord sequence hanging round, so I added some lyrics and kind of ‘glued’ it into the middle of the song.
Let me know what you think - constructive criticism always gratefully received 😊🙏

Radio Time Machine

Written during the first lockdown. It was obvious that no generation had ever experienced what we were all going through - so I need to write about it.
'It's not like we’d ever choose…….’
Wasn't sure where the song was going, so decided to build up the ending to EPIC proportions with 'Moog Taurus' bass pedals, Mellotron choirs, strings, brass and the kitchen sink!
Helped immensely by the very talented Mr Rob Rowles (aka ’Badger’) on piano, strings and brass sections, and the equally talented Alex Pearson who played the double bass.

Listen with headphones and turn up LOUD to fully appreciate this progathon!

Not Like

Here’s a song I wrote a few years ago now - it’s about the innocence of youth, and how becoming an adult shatters that innocence.
This was written on piano (I’m no pianist, so please excuse the basic playing!), but transposes nicely to guitar for when I play it live.
Enjoy!

When We Were Young

This song is about the ‘link’ between dreams and ‘deja vous’ (probably in my head but I seem to recall hearing it somewhere)……

Pauls psychotropic perculator

Steve Redwood was Weston's own king of the Korg. Starting out with a small synth, an ancient 2-track reel-to-reel recorder and a Roland Drumatix in 1981, he coaxed amazing sounds out of thin air. Later, as he bought better gear, his songs became more complex but never lost the incredible rhythyms and catchy hooks that were Steve's trademark.

This song was probably recorded in the late 1980s, with backing vocals from Maria Chenoweth.

With his distinctive voice Steve collaborated with many bands and musicians, including an appearance on a complilation of Darlington bands with No Picnic, and a stint fronting almost-made-it 1980s rockers Giant International.   

Steve Redwood - World Of Trash

This page features music from Weston super Mare's alternative scene, between 1979 and 1984. Eventually, the aim is to have a mix of studio, rehearsal and live recordings on here to form a record of a very special time down Wessun. If your music fits with that, let me know and I'll pop it on the page. Please bear in mind that this music has been hanging around on tapes in attics for about 30 years so the sound quality isn't going to be perfect, even though the music is...
