Early 2009 will see Steve Cradock one of the most talented guitarists to come out of Britpop, release his debut solo album ‘The Kundalini Taget’ featuring Paul Weller and Sally Cradock. The founding member of the million selling Ocean Colour scene has grafted 10 beautiful laments about love, life, loss and the union of marriage. Tracks such as ‘Running Away’, ‘Beware of Falling rocks’ and ‘Ask the sound’ showcase what a talent he is, exposing the vunerability and innocence of young love.

It’s been a long time coming, for a man who is held in high esteem by his peers and fans, ‘he’s a magical person, so positive and optimistic’ noted Paul Weller, in the Independent earlier this year. Cradock and Weller’s union as musicians commenced in 1992 when Steve joined Wellers band and has remained a permanent fixture since, collaborating and performing on the recent critically acclaimed number 1 album ’22 Dreams’, also this year completing the ‘Paul weller and Steve Cradock – Acoustic Tour’, which included a headline slot at the Royal Albert Hall for Roger Daltrey’s Teenage Cancer Trust where they were supported by Duffy.

Born in Solihull, Birmingham, Steve has always cherished classic soul, R & B and Reggae, sharing a mutual love of The Kinks, The Small Faces and The Who with Weller and good friend Liam Gallagher, with whom he released a cover of the Jam’s classic track ‘Carnation’ in celebration of The Jam Cover album ‘Fire & Skill’. Cradock also performed on a cover of The Beatles ‘Come Together’ as part of the Smokin Mojo Filters band with Paul McCartney and Noel Gallagher.

Steve has also worked with Amy Macdonald, the million selling Scottish starlet, performing on the track ‘Run’, on top of releasing this solo record Steve remains on the road with OCS and Paul Weller, as well as producing Paul’s son Natty Weller’s debut album. Having penned some of the 90′s definitive hits such as The Riverboat Song, The Day We Caught The Train and Hundred Mile High City which have become engrained into British Culture as the theme tune to the Chris Evans fronted TFI Friday and signature song in Guy Ritches ‘Lock Sock & Two Smoking Barrels’, Steve finally deserves to be seen as a great British songsmith and heralded as a true musical talent.
