about

In the mid eighties Steve Somerset had moved to London and was working as part of the creative team for Kevin Godley and Lol Creme at their video production company Medialab. He was living in Ealing near a green space called Haven Green and thought The Haven Green sounded like the name of a late sixties band; he even came up with a title for their album ‘To Whom It May Concern’. It was an idea he always kept on the back burner, so fast forward through many jobs, bands, projects and flats to 2021 when he found himself sitting on a sofa in Highgate writing a song called ‘Journey To The Stars’ . Immediately he thought “this sounds like The Haven Green". He recorded the song the next day and the following day wrote two more songs. The material just poured out and within three weeks he had recorded the whole album.
It all happened very quickly but looking back now he thinks the main themes of the album are hope and new beginnings which of course, coming out of the pandemic, made perfect sense. These are themes which chime with the sentiments of much of the music of the sixties to which The Haven Green knowingly and lovingly tip their hats.

Praise for The Shadow Kabinet
“Steve Somerset, for he is The Shadow Kabinet, created a Sgt Pepper in miniature. And very good it is too.” - Pop Junkies
“His ragged juvenile lead tones, as ineffably English as the sort of Sunday teas no one eats anymore. The great trash alchemist, the man with the rock ‘n’ roll gazetteer in his pocket, trailing melody in his wake like a faint perfumed mist.” Mark Hudson music critic

Worked with Dave Gregory on music for television.

Formed The Blues Ghosts 2012-15
Released the live album Bootlegged In Barnes.
