Young Owen Mac from Ireland

[Ken Byng]

I was sent a link to this clip from Dave Beaty of Telonics fame. Dave was intrigued not just by the quality of the young man's vocal ability, but also by the tasteful steel playing. Hopefully one of the guys on here from Ireland can shed some light on who the steel player might be.

Hi Ken, The steel player is non other than Richard Nelson

Just been on 'chat' with Owen and confirmed by Owen himself

[Ken Byng]

Thanks Jim - I will advise Dave Beaty.

Richard Nelson impresses me every time I hear him play.

Very nice, great new Irish talent there, as for Richard he is a very tasty talented musician . Ireland's top steel player in my opinion.

What a great wee relaxed singer, young Owen is, I hope he manages to hang on to what he's got. I don't usually like seeing kids being pushed into the spotlight, it can be a recipe for disaster.
Although a few notable exceptions, Ricky Skaggs, Lee Ann Rimes and Shirley Temple.

Richard Nelson is incredibly tasteful.

HOPE HE GOES ON TO GREAT THINGS. REGARDS DEREK .
