Of the many sessions Steevi has been booked, one fave in particular was to appear on transatlantic guitar legend ROBIN TROWER's (Ex-PROCOL HAREM) album "Go My Way" (Aezra Records). The album is enjoying worldwide success. Most recently Steevi also he appears on Robin's ''Another Days Blues''  (V12 Records) with Hazel Fernandez on vocals.

Richard and Steevi flew out last year to dep a show on drums and bass at the famous open-air festival the Kieler Woche in Kiel (near Hamburg) for German EMI signed idol (The King) globally known for his 'Come as You Are' hit cover by Nirvana, his audience hit well in the regions of 80,000 plus. Steevi did a few shows with these guys before they retired the band to follow new ventures.

Whilst recording in Montreux, and drums still mic'd up and warm he was asked personally to record some new tracks (on speculation) for rock band Queen's very own  Brian May's album 'Another World' whilst at Mountain, however "Swiss Time" ran out due to David's commitment to the H&E project; fortunately allowing late drum god Cozy Powell to finish what he'd started... phew!
Some things are just meant to be.   RIP Cozy X		  
Top U.K Marc Bolan/ T-REX Tribute band, TooREX  have recruited Steevi to fill the drum seat once again on their 5th UK tour this year... visit www.toorex.com for details.
