NORTH OF ENGLAND STEEL FESTIVAL 13/ 14 AUG

[Ken Byng]

Got a reservation at the Castle Arms Inn. (Thanks Basil) Looking forward to seeing Tony, Nick, Derek and the boys in August.

[Tony Russell Davis]

It'll be great to see you again so soon Ken.

[Donny Johnston]

I've just tried the NESGF web site, the home page gives the correct date but when you look at the players gallery it's still at 2015. .

[Donny Johnston]

Is there an up to date list of players yet ?

[Ken Byng]

Not so far Donny. I sent an email to Digby Hardy on 10th July making him aware that the web site for the NoESGF was not up to date. Digby 'owns' the web pages of both the South and North of England Steel Guitar Festivals. If I recall correctly he has a house sale going through at the moment. As of yet he hasn't responded to my email and at least another one that has been sent to him on the same subject.

Hi Ken, i spoke to Digby yesterday, and it looks he won,t be there this year. Regards Derek.

[Ken Byng]

I was aware that he wouldn't be attending Derek, but was hoping that he would keep the website up to date for the event. There are some pretty decent players booked in to attend, but it would help the cause to present a list of those who have committed to attend.

[Donny Johnston]

If Digby isn't coming, will there a pa there ? or do we need to be self contained ? Who is organizing the playing order ?

[Tony Russell Davis]

Digby has already sent the banner to me and will organise delivery of his pa system (if the unlikely happens and that one falls through I've got one here anyway). He also intends to put a playing order in place. If you need any information about the venue, please feel free to contact me.

Cheers Tony!
