Steve Firth is the bass player
for the English
band
Embrace.
He studied art at Liverpool University, and also completed a psychology degree.
He replaced original bass player Jon Senior in 1995, who had been sacked by lead singer Danny McNamara
as he did not even own a bass
, who told Jon "if you're gonna be a bass player, it helps to own a bass".
He claims that he only found out about Embrace by chance, as he was looking in the music adverts section of a local paper as an old habit and had temporarily given up due to several failures in bands and now having a wife and full-time job, and was actually looking for a new suit as his cat had destroyed his best one.
In spite of his band's recent affiliation with football, he is believed to be the only member of the band who is largely interested, and supports Leeds United
