North East Steelies Meeting

[nevada150]

The next meeting of the North East Steelies will be held on Sunday 10th February at The Buck Inn in Thornton Watlass.
The meeting will commence at 12:00 noon and as well as our regular attendees, we extend a warm welcome to new faces.
Derek Thurlby came to our last meeting and enjoyed it, so why don't you come along and see what you think? It's a friendly group and egos are not allowed!
We are a mixture of Pedal Steel and Lap Steel players and the Round Robin tunes for February are :
Harbour Lights in (D)
Send Me The Pillow in (A)
If you don't have backing tracks yet, contact me (Keith) and I'll send them out to you.
Finally as Nick Bidmade has told you numerous times, the best Burgers in Yorkshire are available at The Buck Inn.

[Donny Johnston]

I concur, the burgers brilliant. The playing, "MMMMMM" Donny

[nevada150]

Thanks for those few kind words Donny !!!

[Donny Johnston]

Only joking. Donny.

[nevada150]

Aw, I knew that ???

Just a reminder that our next meeting will be held on 10th February.
Hopefully the weather will be kind to us, but if it takes a turn for the worse we'll cancel the meeting in time so that attendees don't make wasted journeys.
Tony could perhaps give a judgement call, maybe by Friday 8th. Fingers crossed.

Regards,
Keith.

Yesterday's meeting included all of our regular attendees, namely: Rosemary and Rod King, Derek Evans, Tony Russell Davis, John Stafford and your's truly.
Everyone joined in with the 2 Round Robin tunes and gave their interpretations of the tunes, which were well received.
Then it was the turn of individual players to showcase any new tunes they had prepared for the meeting, some nice tunes were played and enjoyed by all.
"Burger Time" came along at around 13:30, then it was a general Jam session until the meeting closed.
Looking forward to the next meeting which will probably be in April if the "Free" room is available.
A big thanks to the staff at The Buck Inn and all who attended the meeting.
Keith.
