Steve Holley
Steve Holley joined Wings in 1978, along with Laurence Juber following the departure of Jimmy McCulloch and Joe English, during sessions for the Back to the Egg album at Paul's farm in Scotland. In October that year the band were joined by Pete Townshend, Kenny Jones, Hank Marvin, Ray Cooper, Dave Gilmour, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, Gary Brooker and Ronnie Lane for the recording of Rockestra and So Glad To See You Here.
In November 1979 they commenced a tour of the UK beginning with rehearsals at Paul's old school; the Liverpool Institute (now LIPA) and kicked-off with four dates at the Royal Court Theatre. These concerts were held in order to raise funds for the struggling theatre and Paul donated all the money raised to the cause, effectively saving the theatre from closure.
In December that year they performed the benefit concert for the People of Kampuchea at the Hammersmith Odeon, London.
Steve Holley and Laurence Juber left Wings in February 1981 and an official announcement that Wings are no more was made in April.
Steve moved to the States and has continued as a session drummer, working with many artists, including most recently Ian Hunter on his album 'Rant' (with whom he also toured the UK last year), Popa Chubby, Jennifer Taylor, Arthur Nielson, Dan Driscoll, John Oates and Dar Williams, with whom he just completed a US tour. He has been working in New York with Will Schillinger, who produced CCT's 'Why Don't We Do It In Abbey Road' CD, and has co-produced Steve's new album of original material entitled 'The Reluctant Dog'.
