The British Steelies Society

Anyone know who the steel player is on the Elkie Brookes version of 'Pearl's a Singer'? No credit on the CD sleeve...

I suppose it could be Eric Weissberg, (Duelling Banjos) he's on the album and he's a multi instrumentalist, banjo, mandolin, guitar and dobro, I suppose its possible he may pick a bit of steel???
Dave.

I believe it was B. Cole

The guy I remember seeing on tele had an evening suit and had black hair and a full beard if
that helps .
Frank. Wales

Well, I got the evening suit and beard right but not the hair colour !
Are we getting any closer to the guy's I.D. ?
Good photo Allan , looks like a ShoBud !!
All the best

My guess would be Roger Rettig.

Here he is guys, John Edmed, pedal steel guitarist. Below is part of a review by Jim Evans (reporter of the day).....

Elkie's present steelie is Melvin Duffy , he joined the band in 2008

The lead guitarist/musical director is Elkie's husband, Pete Gage..

Any more questions ?? (can't guarantee to answer them though)

This ain't Roger or B.J.

Twas BJ Cole on the album and released single, John Edmed on about half a dozen tv shows, inc TOPS (Only time the bugger ever wore a suit.lol, a great mate, sadly missed) Melvin and Sarah and a few others came much later in Elkies touring days.
