[David Hartley]

Ok.
Here are the details.

DATE. SUNDAY APRIL 7th 2013.
VENUE. BARNHAM VILLAGE HALL, NR. THETFORD NORFOLK.

Great venue, fair price, further details will follow..

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT...........

I will not be phoning around, this is it, the announcement is here, and here only.
Please pass this info around to fellow steelies who may not visit this forum much.
Please also let me know here, and here only if you can attend, or are thinking if attending.
Anyone who wishes to contact me privately may do so at [email protected]

My ideas are very much like the way John had his meetings.
I am bringing a big screen, projector, tabs, tuition on the day in a round robin way.
I am open to ideas but the format will be round robins, casual, one to one help from myself as I show tabs etc.
Then, if I can get the help, I will have a backing band, bass drums, lead, and singer to help up all play our learned parts in songs of our choice during the early afternoon.
I have a few ideas for the band musicians but would appreciate offers from anyone.
There will be a small charge, there will be a raffle, there WON'T be a bar so bring your own.
Tea and coffee and biscuits etc, well, I am sure I can organise that.
I have booked this hall from 9am til 10pm.
I will need setup time so am unsure of when to start, but it's casual so 10am sounds OK to aim for I suppose but as time goes on, and your ideas come in, the day will get formatted. Food? Thinking about that still. It could be an Indian buffet for around £7 a head if you're all up for it, otherwise.. It might be lunchboxes..
I am of course wishing for the pro players to attend to perform in the evening please.
I don't want to get too involved with preparing any tracks for anyone, so if you can bring your .mp3 players, or PCs or iPads etc. there will be the usual inputs into the desk.

I will be not long back from Dallas, so will have the new Justice guitar with me on this day.

OK, that's it for now boys and girls, it's up to you all to do your best to support this, if successful, there will be more.

I,m hoping to be there too. Sounds like it,s going to be a good one. Graham

[David Hartley]

Thank you John.
You're my main man and appreciate your support.
I have told Dunny he MUST be there too.
This is very early planning but of course I would love Dave Kirk and Mr. Thurlby too if they can make it.
There will be new faces in the steel guitar world at ths meeting as there are many good players in ths area.
LES WRIGHT, JOHN RUSSELL, JOHN FINLEY, KEN PIERCE, HARLOW PLAYERS, please can you attend, and play please... TONY BROWN, please come too. You and me Tony can do a bit together like we did once before at a gig as it went really well that time. TONY, you need to buy that black Rains... DIGBY HARDY and ROD KING, please try your best too.
TED NESBIT you're coming! And who is the keyboard player in your trio? Having him would be our backing band sorted..Your set in Ireland was brilliant.

Anyone wishing to sell, set up stalls, or promote any of their CDs etc are very welcome to do so..

SARAH JORY, Do you fancy coming up here...?

MIKE FEREDAY, can you ask her?
