Steve Holley
Stephen Jeffrey Holley (born c. 1954, London, England) is an English rock music drummer. He was a member of Wings from August 1978 to 1981.
Early years
His father, Jeffrey, led a swing music band and his mother, Irene, was the singer.[1] He first studied the piano, but took up the drums at the age of 12.[2]
Musicians
In the course of his career, dating back to the early 1970s and including numerous appearances as a sessions musician, he performed and recorded with Paul McCartney, Elton John, Kiki Dee, G.T. Moore & The Reggae Guitars, Joe Cocker, Ian Hunter, Julian Lennon,[3] Dar Williams, Ben E. King, and Chuck Berry.[4] In 1978, soon after performing on Elton John's hit single "Ego", a chance meeting in a pub in his hometown of Staines with Denny Laine resulted in him being invited to join Wings. Holley later was a member of Jules Shear's band Reckless Sleepers.
Steve has been touring with Ian Hunter for several years as a member of Ian Hunters Rant band.
