THE IRISH PSG FESTIVAL 2011...

[David Hartley]

Its going to be the best one ever...!

Top American players...!!

And a NEW venue.....!!

I dont think its been mentioned yet, perhaps Ted Nesbit will continue this thread and tell you all about it..!!

[Donny Johnston]

Hi Dave, yes it's official, it's on the Irish website, with Russ Hicks as the guest player, brilliant.

[Malcolm]

Pity it is at same weekend as school holidays, means I won't be able to go again this year.

[David Hartley]

Malcolm......

Babysitters....
Or bring them too.....

Simples.....?

[Malcolm]

David, holiday already booked, my wife is teacher and does not like steel guitar, so no chance of bringing family.

[David Hartley]

OK Malcolm, perhaps next year for you then...

For the others, Russ Hicks has been one of my favorite players since I started learning steel.
I had the pleasure of seeing him again in Dallas and Fortworth in March.
Russ Hicks, Mike Johnson and a band with 3 fiddles at Pearls Dancehall was an amazing finale to the Dallas steel guitar weekend.

I have always said, this Irish festival is like a mini Dallas, its an hour away from the UK by plane and is a weekend break of steel guitar heaven.

So, try your best to get there, you wont be disappointed.

Ted, or anyone, can you place a link here to the Irish steel guitar site with details of the new venue please.
I have friends who wish to book their rooms in the hotel soon.

Booked!

Much more sensibly priced than Bettystown, I hope that encourages the numbers!
I know the price was an issue to several attendeeees!
Looking forward to a good one!
