EP69 - Steve Ellis - Love Affair - Boom Bang Twang! - ”Yes, it feels like it‘s gonna last...”

My latest special guest is British Soul Singer / Legend - Steve
Ellis.


As lead singer with the 1960’s chart-topping Mod-Soul outfit Love
Affair, Steve’s vocals had the kind of powerhouse range that made
you sit up and notice. We'll hear stories from across his career
along with performances with Paul Weller, and their great
friendship (Steve talks about Paul being like a Brother to him,
Paul says 'He's my mate and I love him dearly") and how they
came to create an album together called Boom Bang Twang! Released
in 2018 - it was a mix of new songs and covers, recorded at Black
Barn (Weller HQ) with guests and long-time friends including Paul
(who also produced the album) along for the ride.


The album also has loads of lovely Weller connections - with
band-members Andy Crofts, Ben Gordelier, Steve Pilgrim, Steve
Cradock and Charles Rees (Black Barn Engineer) all playing on the
LP.
