Steve Marriott's Birth Card: The 10 of Clubs

In the record

Stephen Peter Marriott (30 January 1947 – 20 April 1991) was an English musician, guitarist, singer, songwriter, and actor. The birth-card coordinate for January 30 is the 10 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2012 Performers with The Small Faces induction.

The 10 of Clubs coordinate

Steve Marriott's birthday maps to the 10 of Clubs (The Master Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vote and not a verdict on Steve Marriott. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You carry a finished body of knowledge and keep teaching from it.

Steve Marriott in the public record

He was a student at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London and appeared in the West End, before taking a role in music. He co-founded and played in the rock bands Small Faces and Humble Pie, in a career spanning over 20 years. Marriott was inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Small Faces. In Britain, Marriott became a popular, often-photographed mod style icon. Marriott was influenced by musicians such as Miles Davis, Buddy Holly, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Muddy Waters and Bobby Bland. In his later life, Marriott distanced himself from the mainstream music industry and turned away from major record labels, remaining in relative obscurity. He returned to his musical roots, playing in local pubs and clubs around London and Essex. Marriott died on 20 April 1991 when a fire, which was thought to have been caused by a cigarette, swept through his 16th-century home in Arkesden, Essex.
