Upon attending a spaceheads gig in January 2016 Robyn Steward realised she came from the same planet as Trumpet player Andy Diagram and drummer Richard Harrison ( both formally of the honkies). Robyn started to incorporate effects into her trumpet and now sounds like the love child of the honkies , and now plays with a pedalboard resembling a spacecraft ready for adventure. Robyn has several duos ( jazz biscuits, Two horns) a trio Robyn and the bar stewards and a on hiatus band of 5 trumpets and 1 keyboard “ Robyn Steward and the Hatonauts”. Robyn has now used her skills to educate others in looping , her personal experiences of disability enable her to connect with others in a unique way.

Robyn will speak on a panel at South by South west ( SXSW) this year about neuro diversity and inclusion of artists with learning disabilities and autism in the music industry , Robyn receives practical support e.g navigating forms , and help managing her disabillites so they dont get in the way ( Robyn feels disability makes her no less of a musician and is determined to break down peoples misconceptions of disability in music all the music making and creativity comes from Robyn ) from Heart N Soul who belive in the power and talents of people with learning disabilities (www.heartnsoul.co.uk). Robyn is Autistic had written 2 books and is a visiting research associate at UCL focusing on making the voices of autistic people heard and respected.
