“Steve Harley was a true ‘working musician’. He toured until he could tour no more, playing his songs for fans old and new. Our songs live on longer than we ever can.” Midge Ure

“I always considered Steve Harley a partially unknown treasure of British rock‘n’roll music. Probably because he was profoundly different from anyone else and that is his intellect and his lyricism put you on trial.” Michael Des Barres

“Another friend and contemporary has died. Steve was a generous supporter of our Rock Against Cancer festivals. The music he created will live forever.”

Andy Scott, Sweet
