The two Steve's are the Festival's fave double act who provide an irreverant look at history.They also leave the boring bits out!

Their fab Outernet series is gaining a huge following - check out the dedicated website in the Weblinks section.

They enjoy working with children and were writers in residence at a local school during the National Year of Reading. They also perform at many festivals during the year, working tirelessly to promote history as fun!
