Stephen Martin Walwyn (born 8 June 1956 in Southam, Warwickshire, England)[1] is an English rhythm and blues guitarist, best known for his playing with Dr. Feelgood, but who has also played with Eddie and the Hot Rods, Steve Marriott and the DTs, the Roger Chapman Band, the Big Town Playboys[2] and his own band Steve Walwyn and Friends.

Cupid's Inspiration were a pop-act, who had had a No 4 single with "Yesterday has Gone" and a No 33 with "My World", both in 1968,[5] but subsequent records had failed, and they grew tired of the "one hit wonder" tag.

The band had moved to Leamington Spa and were also writing their own rock songs, which they performed as '4 Wheel Drive', a name they soon changed to 'Chevy'.

In 1992, Walwyn and Bronze wrote several tracks for the new album, The Feelgood Factor, during the recording of which, in early 1993, Brilleaux was confirmed as having lymphoma.

[2] During the hiatus, Walwyn played with Eddie and the Hot Rods, The Roger Chapman Band and the Big Town Playboys.

The album contained a selection of self-written songs and instrumentals, and included the musicians Martin Cure (backing vocals), Craig Rhind (bass), Ted Duggan and Chas Chaplin (both drums).

[1] He is also a keen cyclist, undertaking charity rides, such as Land's End to John o' Groats, once on behalf of the Down's Syndrome Association.
