Always sad when a respected musician passes away

Stephen was a true gentlman ,and a superb player ,and allways ready to help and encourage others , i had to miss last Sundays meeting at Warwick, due to being away in France , i really wish i could have been there , he played very well at our June meeting , and i shall remember him allways, God Bless Ron Sutton

Yes, a great loss. I met Stephen at Ian Geast's birthday party a couple of years ago and found him to be a real gent. He will be greatly missed.

I didn't know Stephen and never did hear him play. Nevertheless, it is always very sad to lose someone, especially when it happens so unexpected. Was he in good health, just before his death?
My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Rest in peace Stephen.

In the earlier development period of the Surrey Shadows Club, Stephen Swann attended regularly as a member of the club's excellent backing band -
The Silver Shadows. Whether playing Rythmn or Lead Guitar Stephen certainly inspired many up and coming players in our Club to try to achieve his level of playing performance. Forever very modest, Stephen was always willing to share his playing skills of the tunes we all love with anyone who asked. As the tragic news has spread, many expressions of shock & sadness from members of SSC have been received.

Therefore, collectively we offer our sincere condlences to Stephen's Family at this sad time.

On behalf of the Surrey Shadows Club
