Hi all. Ian here based on the Lincolnahire coast nearby to Skegness. I play piano and guitar, but have always had a real calling to play steel.

At 43 years of age and just in time prior to lockdown I bought my first guitar, a beautiful ZB Custom from my friend and regular contributor here John Davis, who has been a wonderful help as my long suffering mentor with this instrument.

I've watched so many of you on YouTube and Facebook play and we may even be friends on Facebook already as I've done some production work and also some work in theatres in the past.

Come say hi, I'll figure out how to join on a full membership and hopefully sooner or later I'll get a chance to meet you all at an event, whenever this lockdown business is finished.

A special thanks to JD here again for his patience and guidance. I'm up and running and it's an exciting journey!
