NEWS!

A BRAND NEW ALBUM IN THE MAKING!

I am doing things a little differently with this album. I want you folks to hear it as I am writing it. YES!… that will mean free downloads, which will each be attached to a Newsletter. You can hear the album grow as we add each new layer.
I will be explaining, the lyrics, the music and the production, all with links so you can pick and choose your own blend. Below this section will be an individual section for each song. These will grow as the album grows.
**Of course there will be a chance to buy the CD - or maybe even the vinyl - when we get to the other side, but you don't have to. Each person enjoys music in their own way and that is cool!** **SO PLEASE, SIGN UP HERE** **/sign-up**
**and I promise to never send you junk**

NEW GIG ALERT! The Wharf, Widcombe SC, Bath - April 17th 2027

THEY ARE HERE! COFFEE IN NEW YORK & LET'S PLAY THE GOD GAME

LET'S PLAY THE GOD GAME is the latest all original album from Al Steele & Friends. As always Al is pushing the boundaries and asking the question: What if we are all living in a giant game and the Gods are merely having a laugh at our expense?! Like some unholy mixture of The Matrix and Sister Act, this rock laden album is peppered with luminaries. The main players are Danielle Nicholls as GOD, Elaine Gilmore as EVE, Lyndon Morgans as ADAM, Paul Smith as THE NEPHILIM, Lorna Darknell as DEMETER, and of course Al himself as the upstart god GORDON. As in The Life of Brian, we expect it to be banned and us all catapulted to instant infamy!

COFFEE IN NEW YORK is the brand new album from the Korgis to be released primarily for the American market. With a luscious string laden version of the title track and a brand new version of Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime - again with a lovely string orchestra, we are excited to see if we can make some headway Stateside. The rest of the album draws from the back catalogue of The Korgis, Joe Matera and Al Steele. There will be some copies filtering onto the Store here as the cost of shipping from our record company in America is a little eye-watering!

New album and Live gig from Al Steele!

ALIENATED NATIONS

As the 3rd in The Korgis UN-United Nations series comes Al's own ALienated Nations. Of course there are a few familiar faces on here... in fact the album opens with James Warren singing Al's 'Thinking of You' and they also include one of their first ever co-writes 'Long Way Down'.
The legend that is Andy Fairweather Low plays some down & dirty guitar on 'Neverland' performed by Al's alter ego Wolfman.
Danielle Nicholls joins Al on 'The Last Song', this rather lovely song written for Mental Health Awareness Day.
Ian Cooper (Someday Charlie, Someday & End of an Era Feeling) features on the very Floydian 'The Calm Before the Storm' co-produced by Chris Hopkins (Exhibit-1).
One of Al's favourite songs that is just about to see the light of day is 'I Change' featuring Lucy Lawson. Lucy & Al go way back and there was even talk of forming a band called Dumb Blonde. Although Lucy is neither dumb OR blonde, there may be a chance to resurrect this idea!
Of course there are many more brilliant musicians who joined Al to make this eclectically fabulous album... will shout about them in time!

LIVE AT CHAPEL ARTS BATH, JAN 18TH

Al Steele is stepping out on his own for at least one gig! He has put together a show that includes: New Korgis Classics - Songs from his 2 highly acclaimed solo albums.

During 2024 The Korgis released their epic 2-album set UN-United Nations, and this spawned several side projects. Fitting such beasts into a Korgis show was untenable, so Al has put together a cracking band including:

The Korgis Drummer The ‘Mighty’ Paul Smith - Top jazz bass player Alun Vaughan - The Korgis Multi-instrumentalist Danielle Nicholls - Keyboard virtuoso Nigel Hart - Renowned solo artist Elaine Gilmore - San Francisco born Saxophone king Sean McBride

This will be a multimedia rich show and Al is always big on entertainment value, so expect to laugh and cry!
