We have launched the website for CISGF 2009. Our first festival last September was a huge success and we expect CISGF 2009 to attract more players.
This is a festival for Steel Guitar players. Whatever your standard we encourage you to play and to learn through playing.
Peddlars, non peddlars and repsonic players are all welcome. Just bring you guitar - we supply everything else - the venue, amplification, meals, live backing if you want, noisy people to distract you, whatever ...
CISGF 2009 runs from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th September, 2009. We start off with a SHOWCASE concert on the Friday evening followed by a CONVENTION on the Saturday and Sunday.

The Chanos International Steel Guitar Festival 2009 will run from Friday 18 Sept to Sunday 20 Sept.
The festival will open with a steel guitar concert "Steel Guitar SHOWCASE" on Friday evening. Seating is limited to 200 only and tickets are now on sale via the the CISGF website. I suspect these tickets will sell very quickly so the advice is book early and avoid disappointment.
The Saturday and Sunday will be taken up with the CONVENTION. All attendees will be expected to play on stage regardless of standard. This is a convention which encourages making music with your guitar. Tickets can be booked on the website along with lunch and dinner - there is a vegetarian option available as well. Since we all play together it's a good thing to all eat together and it saves wandering around searching for a meal.
