We were lucky to meet Reece at the Dallas show some years ago. He was a real gentleman.
Rest in Peace Reece.e

Just heard. A sad day. RIP George.

May he rest in peace.

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments. I love classic country music and I hope I've lived up to it here. Crazy Arms is a great song and I love to sing it. Ralph Mooney was John's favourite steel player and it seemed a good choice of song as it lends itself so beautifully to the steel. It's ...

Hi evertybody, I'm delighted to say that I've finally gone and released a single to country radio stations here in Ireland, England and Scotland and so far it's being very well received and is getting a lot of airplay. Please have a look and listen and let me know what you think. As you will see I'm...

Fascinating. Shame she didnt sing something

That's just beautiful Jim. I so love that song.

Such sad news. Butch was such a gentleman. Every year at the Irish steel show he was one of the people I most looked forward to seeing again. He liked nothing better than to get up on stage and sing. It won't be the same this year. We'll miss you Butch. My sincere sympathy to Terry.

Poor Sue was very unwell at the Irish Steel Show in October. I'm glad I got to spend a little time with her. We sat and had a good chat and a little gossip!!

Let the man rest in peace and please,leave the judging to God.

I don't live there and it touched me. Beautiful.

Didn't some guy called Phil O Neill play a set too????? :lol: Well Phil said it all there folks. This show gets better every year. The atmosphere was amazing; right from the moment John and I set foot in the hotel on Friday night we knew it was going to be a great weekend. Everything was wonderful. ...

John and I will be there this year. Missed it last time. Unfortunately the "ticket seller" won't be accompanying us this year. She's getting too old for trips with Mum and Dad!!!

I agree with you Todd. I haven't heard very much over the weekend because of the 6 hour time difference but right now John Hughey is coming in loud and clear here in Ballyduff. When I close my eyes I can just soak up the atmosphere and place myself in the hall where it's all happening. I don't know ...

Wonderful news Smiley. You deserve this. Have a blast and happy new year.

That's excellent news Richard. Van Morrison is very lucky. I must say I'm disappointed to see that you won't be with us at Pat's next Saturday night though. Best of luck with the gigs and congrats from John and I.

A big Céad Míle Fáilte from the Emerald isle too.

Crow bear, maybe we can expect to see you at the show next year.
Malcolm, the Scottish contingent add to the fun every year.

HI guys. I just got back from the steel show and it was wonderful. I'm too tired to go into great detail but I can't find one thing negative to say about it. All the players were outstanding. Ron Elliott was terrific and is a very humourous man and had us all in stitches. Sarah Jory as usual was mar...

I heard Phil play last week and he was so good I forgot the words of the song I was singing!!!!!! http://steelguitarforum.com/redface.gif Looking forward to hearing you again at the weekend Phil http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="c...

If anyone's interested I'll have polo shirts for sale with steel guitars embroidered on them. So get your orders in now guys!!!

"Only four short weeks to a great Steel festival...Irish Style.."

I beg to differ Phil!!! It's only 3 weeks and 2 days

See ya Saturday at Pat's
