Stephen Large - piano/organ

Stephen Large is one band member that can still leave the rest of RSR with their jaws wide open during a gig. He has an ability to rock, shock, surprise and often frighten his fellow musicians during a performance. The band sometimes wear protective clothing to shield themselves from one of his instrumental interludes. 

Stephen has drawn much inspiration from other pianists such as Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Nat King Cole and is a huge fan of Oscar Peterson and Hammond player Jimmy Smith. His classical additives and random musical silliness is reminiscent of heroes like Dudley Moore and Les Dawson.

Stephen is Jools Holland’s replacement in the band Squeeze and has recently played with artists such as Pete Doherty, Blur’s Graham Coxon and Motown legend Martha Reeves. Numerous TV appearances have included keyboard surfing on TOTP with the E.S.P., dueting with Glenn Tilbrook on Later with Jools, being very Cool For Cats with Squeeze on Al Murray and swinging with Rod Stewart on the Parkinson show.
