Oxford's Premier Blues Rock Trio

Dont forget Steamroller are playing this Sat at the Culham Festival - not sure what time, but from 12 onwards. Sat 5th May)

Hi Guys,
I've just finished the first mixes of the show I recorded at The Crooked Pot on Friday. Thye sound pretty good to me. You will have a CD with the tracks on shortly.

One of the best bands I ever saw: Stagger Lee, Keep me Hanging on, and yeah, warm Breakers in the 'dolly...

johny marter (drummer) steamroller.......remember 2.15 bbc radio oxford...interview 3/2/12

Fond memories of Steamroller (and the later Bob Wakeley Band) probably about 1978 as an underage drinker down the Corn Dolly hugging a warm can of Breaker "malt liquor".

Terrific atmosphere, loud, sweaty and stunk of spilt beer. Also remember the Stan Smith Band, Flash Harry and Prism.

Happy days.

its so good to steamroller as i remember them back in 1974, corndolly. use to go down on a sunday night if i remember. just to steamroler and sun fly playing. thanks guy , your the best

I saw Steam Roller and Sunfly at the Oxford Town Hall many moons ago, Now they are playing at the Broad Face Abingdon on a regular basis. The nights are always well supported and atmosphereric. Looking forward to the next gig.

I lived in Oxford in the early 70's and was a regular in the Corn Dolly and used to love to get down there to see Steamroller. Moved back to Yorkshire in mid seventies.
I formed the Classic Rock Society in 1991 and recently handed over the reins to a bunch of younger lads. Still do some interviews and reviews for the guys. Had reason to interview Dicken of Mr Big this week and talked about Oxford and blow me I find out you're still going strong. Great news. Hope I get chance to see you somewhere down there again soon.

Hi Rob,

I used to be the drummer for Prism in the seventies, A few years ago I made a double album of Steamroller made from tapes lent to me by Mark Freeman which I remasterd. Its was recorded I think in 1976 at the Corn Dolly. It sounds good ! I still play and teach guitar/drums. I have a band called Ginhouse and guess what we play a little thing called "Poorboy". anyway it was your fault I started playing lead guitar, I was a bit knocked out by your playing
and so the drums had to take a back seat. Its great to see your back on stage again. I'm still trying to get to The Jack Russell for Jam, if its still on, perhaps we could have a jam for old times sake. Give my regards to Larry

All the best

Alan

Hey Guys!!!

LOVED the set at The Cricketers, handy having you play 50 yards from my house!!!...Rob was explosive as always, and young Aaron was simply AWESOME for his age......CAN'T WAIT to see y'all on a bigger stage with Larry cracking out the big drum kit!!!!

Keep it up, STILL the best live band in Oxford

GIBBO!!!!!
