The British Steelies Society

Did a gig last night, guy got quite excited,(not at my playing) said he's not seen a Sho Bud for years when he played with a band that was mostly on tour in Europe.
Said the steelie was a Barry Gaskill, and althou the name rings a bell, I can't put a face to it, some one must have known him.

I'm sure he's a Liverpool guy, or at least that area. Quite (actually, make that "very") good. Barry worked around the country in workies clubs. Saw him in the north-east about 35 years ago. One of my pals of that era (Ian McCulloch - used to have a D-10 ShoBud, but returned to super-strat guitar playing) knew him better.

Slim. Barry (Baz) was a regular member/poster on here up until a couple of years ago, brilliant steelie, been on the scene for years,played with lots of N/E bands and toured with many pro outfits. Played with Talon, the Eagles tribute band (and did a great job)
Dont quote me but I heard health hadn't been brilliant of late.
He did a set at Newbury years ago,played C6th when a lot of us just carried it around for the looks (me included lol)

Tony, the Peavey Session 400 we chatted about recently was one of Barry's cast offs.

Yeah, I think "brilliant" is more appropriate - it has been a lot of years since I saw him Let's hope his health is not so bad?

Im sure JD will chip in, he and Barry are mates and I think they keep in touch.

Slim,check through your Newbury tape collection, Barry played there, think the C6th number he did was the Preacher, hot hot stuff.

Barry in action:





two of my favourite youtube vids..if anyone has any more i'd liek to hear

Thanks guy's, now I see him on u tube it clicks into place, but Barry was one of the earley guy's that was just a name to me, never got to talk to him so it never locked in the old brain, and at my age I cant go beck that far and remember detailes.
Thanks for the info.
