About Steve BarlowSteve Skidmore

Steve Barlow was born in Britain (in Crewe in the county of Cheshire). He went to Brierley Street School which was like Bash Street only not as sophisticated then to Crewe County Grammar School for Boys (and what kind of school feels the need in its name to remind its pupils what gender they are? Hmmm?). He went on to study at Warwick University and Nottingham University and worked at various times as a teacher actor stage manager and puppeteer. Then he went to teach in Botswana where a valid excuse for students not handing in their homework was 'A goat ate it sir!'. On his return to the UK he met Steve Skidmore and the rest is hysteria. Steve Skidmore is shorter than Steve Barlow and less hairy. He was born in Birstall near Leicester in England. After managing to pass some exams at school he went on to Nottingham University to supposedly read English but spent most of his time playing sport and doing a variety of summer jobs including counting pastry pie lids (yes really). He trained as a teacher of Drama English and Film studies before teaming up with Steve Barlow to become a full time author. He lives in Leicester and is a great rugby fan (he supports Leicester Tigers - 'Come on you Tiiiiigeeeers!').
