Your Bio

Pictures by Steve Shorey - lots on Medieval re-enactment through our Membership of the UK based Medieval Siege Society - The MSS (over 3000 photos) - yes I really am a longbow archer with the proper kit!!!. Other galleries are of favourites covering life, the universe, family and guitars (lots of them) and music. Most Pics taken with a LUMIX digital camera with a fab Leica lens. I have a website frontend for my Medieval re-enactor pics http://www.medieval-photos.com. Pic on the left taken in Sept 2007 wih my trusty 62' re-issue Stratocaster at a gig with my music chums Colin Reece and Ian Cutler..look at http://www.steves-guitars.com to see more of my guitar collection accumulated over 35 years of gigging, Short youtube clip taken in September 2007 here http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5irHTSWpnSk with Colin Reece, Ian Cutler and Mick Hennesey

Older scanned Photos of folk club friends were taken with Minolta SLR cameras and some go back over 25 years
