Steve James Sherlock - Saxophone, Clarinet, Flute, Devices - Neu Electrikk
Steve James Sherlock (born: 1953 in
London, United Kingdom) is a British musician and founder member of Neu
Electrikk. He grew up in the south London district of Thornton Heath and played
saxophone, clarinet and flute. Influenced by the sounds of his youth, jazz,
soul, dub, reggae and hearing saxophonists like John Coltrane, Andy Mackay of
the 70’s band Roxy Music and Davey Payne of Ian Dury and The Blockheads
Sherlock went on to develop his own style of playing. This involved
improvisation and experimenting with sound by processing the playing through
various effects pedals.

He also joined Matt in various other ‘live’ versions of The The.
