Irish Steel Guitar Festival 2014

[Uncle Roy]

Lay down your woollen shawl dear Willie. I swear it is no joke I'll tell to you the story, of the Old Dungarven oak

[dessa]

Really disappointed that I will be unable to attend the Festival this year as its a great event and would have loved to display my "Sheffield " but owing to my increasing work schedule I just cannot make it. Have a fantastic weekend guys. DT

[Willie Gamble]

Del Boy, you might not be there in body, but you will be there in spirit in an indirect sense, as I will be playing your old Carter, although not as well as you would have done, but it will be played.
Give your wee Orcadian a hug fae me

Willie mate!! Couldn't wish for anybody else to play the Carter, have a blast.

[Ken Byng]

The most important thing about the weekend for me is having people see my good friend Buck Reid in action for the first time. He just takes one's breath away with his astonishing technique, and those who buy his CD will hear just about the finest steel guitar album ever. Dave Wheelhouse has asked me to bring back a signed copy for him as he can't get to Ireland this year.

I have to get today's gig out of the way, and then it is an intensive 3 days run through of my sets before I load up the car and drive up to Llandudno on Thursday, where I will stay overnight before getting the ferry on Friday morning at Holyhead Port.

Mr Bing, I do hope the chesticle infectiousness is all cleared up in preparation for the Guinness uptake
I look forward to hearing your flawless playing, as I have been told with monotonous regularity and sickening rapidity by numerous people.
See you in Dublin

Flawless playing??? I will soon dispel that myth Willie.

The only seat that I can get at the weekend is on stage next to you when you are playing. I have heard the rumour that you have an exceptionally fast right hand. Do you do any specific exercises or is it just as a result of a mis-spent youth?

[Willie Gamble]

Ken let me assure you that you are quite wrong regarding the speed of my right hand ( and yes it would be the latter if anything )
if Malcolm is sponsored by Vics Sinex, then I am surely sponsored by Mogadon, as I am sure when you hear me, you, and others will lapse into the arms of Morpheous.

[Paul Brennan]

Aye, it'll no' be long now boys. I'm looking forward to meeting you all again. I'll be in the vicinity of the bar on Friday night. I too am very much looking forward to hearing Buck Reid for the first time. His CD is just fantastic.

[Donny Johnston]

BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE ATTENDING THIS WEEKEND. HOPE I CAN MAKE IT BACK NEXT YEAR. DONNY.
