Background and musical career

Stewart was born in

Genesis Archive 1967-75 box set, he is not credited with playing on any of them (though one track features drumming that may have been done by Stewart). At the recommendation of Jonathan King, Stewart was – rather inelegantly – fired from the band in the summer of 1968 due to his poor technique and was replaced by John Silver
.

Farmer and author

After travelling and working throughout Europe, Stewart settled and bought a farm named El Valero in the

Green Party,[2]
where he received 201 votes (roughly 8 per cent).

He is now known for his autobiographical books, Driving Over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalucia (1999,
