Steve Shipley

voc,
Rock

Steven began playing in local bands in the Newcastle region - The Feds and Rockefella to name a few. He was recruited by The Beatnix in the late 1980's by word of mouth, and he became the cornerstone member of a lineup of that group from that time on until late 1995, playing the role of "musical director", and creating the backing tracks in use at the time. When he left with the other musicians in that group to form THE BEATELS, he consolidated his position as the foremost McCartney impersonator in Australia, and proved to be one of the best in the world. Steven also studied to be a certified studio engineer in Sydney, ironically under the tutelage of Pete (The Count) Contini, who was the producer of the album Steven performed on in 1994 - It's Four You. Steven produced and engineered the recordings of many Sydney artists including 3 generations of the famous Australian jazz family, the Barnards, in an album understandably titled Three generations of of Barnards. (2006). He wrote and recorded for a studio group called Post (along with Marcus and Neil), featuring on their debut Late Mail. On 20th January 2014, the music world lost a talent and a gentleman with the passing of our good friend and Beatels co-founder Steven Shipley.
