On The Box Mission Reviews
“I know that my visits over the years to aid projects around the world have had a huge impact on my life and I’ve often wished that more people had the chance to see for themselves and to contribute their skills and their energy. On The Box Mission offers a life-changing experience, along with the opportunity to make a difference.”
Sir Cliff Richard
“Steve has a track record that speaks for itself. He has developed a high level of expertise in all aspects of Short Term Service Projects which is probably unparalleled in the UK today. He has a unique contribution to make and I can highly recommend his mission to you.”

Album Review: “The Fuse Is Still Burning”
Note: The vinyl version of this album is selling for £19.99 as a collectors item on Ebay!
“This 1986 album sees singer/songwriter Steve Flashman beginning to embrace ’80s keyboard technology and updating his sound. As you’d expect, this is a collection of spiritual, thought provoking material recorded at the height of Steve’s time as a music minister. The album also saw him team up with After The Fire’s John Russell who produced this set. The songs “Private Life”/”Video Boom” were liberated from this set and released as a seven inch single. Both songs coming from the edgier end of the album and “Private Life” has a neat insistent groove whilst “Video Boom” employs a more futuristic sound. Other highlights of the album include the opening pop of “Hit And Run” and the punch of the title cut. Another piece of catchy pop is captured towards the end of the set on “You Stood Me On My Feet” with its worshipful feel. Listening to this 25 years on, it’s definitely of its time and these days Steve is a church minister but there’s plenty to enjoy if you enjoy some retro ’80s sounds or admire strong songwriting”

Album Review: “Icy Hearts”
“Elder readers will recognise Steve’s name as one of the pioneering figures of British rock-gospel over the last decade, yet despite goodish albums down the years on Kingsway and Marshalls nothing prepared us for this, his best recording ever. With a diamond-bright rock production and some incisive song writing which leaps beyond standard evangelical sloganeering this is excellent music which transcends its limited recording budget. Buy this album and support Christian rock gospel.”

Album Review: “Crisis On Broadway”
“Lead guitars, production, engineering and more tasty embellishments – John Russell” says the sleeve and they sure are tasty. Catch the truly scorching guitar work on the opener “Decade” showing that the ex-After The Fire man isn’t ready for his zimmerframe yet. Steve is no slouch either. Despite many other irons in the fire as well as music – evangelism, books, radio -our hero can still write and sing hookey, pop-rock numbers and deliver them with aplomb. I particularly liked “Where Do I Begin” with almost a Lennon/McCartney lilt to the melody while his lyrics are always thought provoking. A man who may never sniff a Dove Award but deserves our recognition and thanks for his services to Britain’s Christian music scene”

Album Review: ”Fighting Back!”
“The notes from Soapbox Music describe this album as ‘a statement of intent to take on the powers of darkness in a lost and fallen world, born out of Steve’s work through Soapbox Expeditions which specialises in taking people of all ages to make a difference in some of the poorest areas of the world.’ A great strength of this album, Steve’s ninth, is his collaboration with the newly formed Warrior, a blend of four experienced musicians and four female backing vocalists. Steve is an innovative and thoughtful songwriter and arranger whose themes bring home the message with a freshness and infectiousness in each song. The 56 mins begin with two in-your-face celebration and praise tracks, then the title track has similar structure to Heartbeat’s “Voice To The Nation” from 11 years ago, exhorting action: “How long will we turn a blind eye in this land?” Two dance tracks, ”Planet Holly wood” and “Totally Disconnected” follow, without missing out on strong lyrical content. On “Friendly With The Russians” there’s a simplicity in the point: “Love is the key that will set you free/To be all that you’re meant to be.” As a pop album with varied Style, this is outstanding. Among the things I like is the contribution of the four backing vocalists. The strength of their harmony shows particularly in the chorus of the simplest song on the album, “All I Want Is You” and in the reprise of the final song “Warrior Of Love”, which continues, “Fighting for your heart/Challenging resistance, giving a new start/Causing walls to crumble, giants start lo fall/Fear Flies out in terror at the Warrior’s call.” If the band can produce something like this sound at live concerts, they’ll be well worth seeing.”

Music Reviews:
“British singer/songwriter Steve Flashman fits right in there with the best UK male solo albums on labels like Myrrh, Dovetail and Grapevine. He’s got a lot of talent helping him out, including Paul Field, Mark Williamson, Chris Eaton and Norman Barratt”

Book Reviews:
“The Theft Of The Purple Plug”
“A few minutes with this book will help to revive those brain cells that many hours in front of the box have tried to kill off!”
Ishmael
“Although I haven’t read it since I was about 13-14 I really enjoyed this book! I was given it by the man himself (Mr Flashman) when he came to sing around my area… Its wonderfully wacky and charming, filled with lots of tension and strange creatures with a psychadelic feel. Its basically a surreal journey book but for morals storyline and a bit of fantasy its great. Thumbsup!”

“Rock Music – An Informed View”
“This useful little booklet has been out for ages but missed the Cross Rhythms dragnet. Its concise apologetic against the ‘rock music is from Satan’ brigade within the church and as such is particularly useful as a work to be circulated around local fellowships particularly those that have been bombarded with the misinformation/unbiblical teaching of books like Basilea Schlink’s ‘Rock Music – Where From? Where To’ or John Blanchard’s ‘Pop Goes The Gospel’. In a few brief pages it puts rock music in its proper cultural perspective, examines what the Bible says or does not say, and throws down a pretty radical manifesto for future church involvement in rock music. We could have done with a few paragraphs about the musical origins of much of the big beat of jazz, blues and rock being in Afro American church experience. But this is a small quibble. This is an excellent contribution to the rock debate with the potential to do some damage against the walls of cultural prejudice that still surround parts of the church.”
