The British Steelies Society

Billy do we know who is playing where in our den? We have in the past had numbers of requests form the south but I am often asked what is going in on our turf, any thoughts, I've just pm'd Allan to give us some of the action in the north. I'll have a chat to Donny this week and see if he can add any meat to the bones, likewise Billy Holland.

Creetown Country Music Festival in my area.

For those who don't know SW Scotland, Creetown is 7 miles east of Newton Stewart on the A75

September 17th - 19th. Don't think they use many bands with steel though.

Thanks George!

Hi Bob,
The country scene in Scotland is pretty poor and There is no guarantee that when visiting a club you will see a band with a Steelie.
Without labouring the point,We all know that clubs are going for Duo's and Trio's,there is little chance of a Steel player in these lineups.
The bands I know of that have a steel player are,
City Sinners...Malcolm
Cimarron......Willie G
Texas Express......Bill McK
Shooter..........Davie Hhttp://www.ssgc.org.uk/
Nickels and Dimes....Myself
Trampas.......Wille G
Mustang....Allan T
The Brothers....Ian Harris
The Bald Eagles.... Donny Johnston
The trick is to find where they are playing,Check the opry site or the magazine,CDMS or perhaps the gig guide.

Billy ... George, you can hear some steel this Saturday night in Creetown Village hall. I am playing with a band called "Country Features" Also on the bill is Pat Mc Cool (from Louge and Mc Cool fame), Micheal Mc Sparron, Country singer from Carnlough Co.Antrim, and a beautiful young lady from Ballymena called Marie Mermin. Its a sit-down concert ..no bar, but a good pub across the street. Looking forward to it

Blast it Ted, I'm away from tomorrow I would have come down! ah! well! have a great gig!

How about getting Ivor to use that video camera of yours and getting some of it on here!

Hi Ted,

Very near me, but no tickets.

It is a sell out, so you should have a good night.

Next time, with a bit of luck!!

George
