Steve is a skilled writer and composer.

In 2007 he wrote The Big Filling: This Time it's Pie-sonal with his colleague Ben James (he also composed and performed the music, which was described as a 'toe-tapping jazz soundtrack' by The Scotsman).

This unique piece of family theatre appeared at the Underbelly during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2007, during which time it garnered universal critical acclaim, including outstanding 4-star reviews from The Scotsman newspaper and The List magazine. There was considerable interest in transferring the show to London and on tour - plans which are currently being developed for Spring/Autumn 2008.

Steve also occasionally works as an arts journalist. He has written reviews for various publications including BBC Online.

He also has an interest in Tibetan arts, which he developed into a dissertation for his Philosophy and Literature degree whilst at the University of Warwick. On the strength of this piece of work he was awarded a travel bursary to work with exiled Tibetan communities in India. This in turn resulted in a 10,000-word multimedia project, which he presented at schools and universities across the country, including Cambridge University.
