Like you Paddy we are really looking forward to our annual trip and catching up with all the great folks at the Brisbane Steel Guitar Festival. I know Jeff and the committee have worked very hard to put on another great weekend for us all.


I Just confirmed our Friday night flight with Virgin and our favorite Chermside Green Motel room this afternoon.

Allen, I wouldn't like to park where that little white car is. Years ago, my wife bought a woolen wall hanging from " inside " that sheep. By the way, I am very disappointed that you are not playing for us on the show this year.

Safe traveling to all.

Hi guys, yes we're getting very close now & I hope everyone has a great trip to the Sunshine state.
I'm looking forward to relaxing & just enjoying the show this year - but I will play at the social day on Sunday.
Also have a "new" surprise piece of kit to show off! Very Happy
Yes, I've been spending my money recklessly again.

PS. There's NO truth in the rumour that Paddy has booked a double extension ladder on the plane! Laughing

See ya'll soon! Smile

Hi all, I just want to say thanks to all our performers at the festival & social day.
What a great show it was & many thanks for supporting the Brisbane Steel Club. Cool
Congrats also to Jeff Spencer & his helpers for all their hard work bringing the show to us. Smile

The prize for farthest travelled goes to Ted Nesbitt, all the way from Ireland, who thrilled us with his playing on both days. Hope to see you again Ted.

We were certainly spoilt for choice with players, so much so that on one occasion, two steelers had to share one guitar. i.e. Bob Alloway (Aus) & Paddy Long (NZ) I thought they were going to have to "get a room" Laughing
You have to watch out for those lonely coal miners Paddy! Very Happy

Anyhow, thanks everybody & I'm sure someone will be along & hopefully post some pix of the event. Cheers, Allen.

We certainly had a great weekend catching up with all our friends again in Brisbane. A big "thank you" from us as well to Jeff and all the committee for the brilliant job they did.

Looked a bit like the United Nations with people from far and wide.

I reckon that's one of the things that Steel Guitar does best, is unite us all.

Nice to know everyone made it home safely. I'm already looking forward to next years festival, God willing?

Thanks guys. You all made it a great weekend!! More photos soon as I try to track them down from people. Nick, you played great. Paddy, I thought there was a 'bum' note in there! then I realised that vertical lever was being activated Rolling Eyes We really do value the efforts you guys have to go to get to Brissy. We know its not cheap or easy with steel guitars in the pack!
Stay tuned.
