As he moved through the ranks in Scotland, success seemed to follow the Band’s in which Steven played. Before leaving Scotland, Steven had most recently played with the Scottish Gas and Lothian and Borders Pipe Bands.

Steven relocated to Australia in 1999, joining the Queensland Police Pipes and Drums, where he continues to be employed. He travelled back to Scotland with the Band in 2001 for the World Pipe Band Championships.
