He began singing to his daughter, Emma, when she was in the womb.

Keyboardist Steve Papworth’s musical background spans six decades playing keyboards, guitar and bass. In addition to playing regularly at Jazz club events with the Paul Dredge Trio, Steve plays keyboards for Bruce Springsteen tribute band
