The British Steelies Society

Hi there! I'm a professional composer. I'm trying to find a Bristol based steel player for a new project, live and recording. Can anyone help with a recommendation? We are looking for initially for a player with some western swing/bluegrass licks, but also the ability to have a go at other styles too.

Much appreciated.

Eddy,

there are a few steel players in and around Bristol, so I'm sure others will chip in with suggestions. I know of (but don't know):

Paul Godden who plays steel with Pontchartrain;
Gary Peters, who gigs with Steve Page and The Open Secrets (http://www.theopensecrets.co.uk); and
Tim Fish (http://www.theshrinks.com/bandTimF.html).

I play steel too, but I'm based in Cardiff. I played in a band opening for Fiona Barrow in Porthcawl. She's a cracking fiddle player.
