Guest Writers (8) > Bard of Ely - Steve Andrews
Steve Andrews was dubbed the Bard of Ely by Big Issue magazine, to which he used to contribute. He used to live in Ely, a huge housing estate in Cardiff, Wales, but for the last five years has been living in Tenerife in the Canary Islands, supporting himself mainly as a writer. He has written for Permaculture, Prediction and Living Tenerife magazines and the Tenerife News and Tenerife Sun newspapers. He is also the author of Herbs of the Northern Shaman which is being republished this autumn by O Books.
Bard of Ely is a singer-songwriter and has appeared several times at Glastonbury Festival both as a performer, and in 2002 and 2003, as compère for the Avalon stage. He was also on the bill at the Green Man Festival in 2003. His song You’re a Liar, Nicky Wire created so much “buzz” that it was released fronting the Taffia EP on Crai Records and rave reviewed in the NME singles page. He also worked as co-presenter of two series of In Full View on the BBC Choice Digital channel.
He writes about nature and animals, about conservation, about the paranormal and the strange experiences he has had, about singers and musicians, about alternative health remedies, about the island of Tenerife, and about life. He is currently also in charge of a fansite on Facebook for adventurer and environmentalist David de Rothschild.
