My Greystones: Steve Belton

Home away from home…

nother one from the archives, this time, Steve Belton, from July 2nd 2014…

And we were lucky to get him. Like any true artist, Steve is a quiet man, happier in the shadows than high-fiving Xpose girls on the red carpet.

With a long and rather illustrious career in music, Steve Belton has made his way from 1980s electro pop with the acclaimed Irish duo The Fountainhead to some mean and dirty Delta blues with his current outfit, Helium Dog. Heck, the man even survived being in Cry Before Dawn.

You can catch young Steve playing his regular Mojo Sessions alongside the likes of the legendary  bassist and composer Garvan Gallagher (the man who brought us the theme to Bosco!), and you can find out here the songs that make him break down and cry in his Tracks Of My Years contribution to GG last year.

If you know what’s good for you.

In the meantime, here’s Steve in action, with The Fountainhead, in Lausanne, Switzerland back in 1989…
