Another British steeler

Post by Bent Romnes »

I wonder...is this another British Invasion?
David Hartley has certainly proved to us how he can play the steel like a pro.

Another steeler worth mentioning is this fellow:

Dave Seddon plays with such a fine touch and sensitivity that I am moved every time I listen to his work. A true virtuoso.
So far he has 7 vids on youtube.

Barrie was great in 1980! Makes me wonder what he is like today... It is amazing to see all the super steel come out of UK. In my day (1975 to 1983) there were just a handful. Good going guys and girls!

Yes, definatley Barry is one hell of a picker, always one of my favourites. I also wish someone would post some clips of Pete Haywood, I think everyone will agree he is the absolute dog's doo daa's when it comes to British Steel. Hey I'm 60 now and nearly a pop star. Thank you everybody for your comments, or more appropriatly compliments on my playing, (my spelling is crap though.)Bent I'll be in touch, got 1or2 domestics at the moment. Cheers Dave (Shakey) Seddon

Wow! That Jennings guy can sing!!!!

That was a great live recording. They looked like they were having fun. Does anybody know if that was a dance or just a concert? That sounded like something you would hear in a Texas dance hall.

Bent: Thanks for bringing us these fabulous steel pickers from across the POND. Yes, I especially admire that " Shakey Guy ". I'm anxious to hear that Pete Haywood. Wow, didn't realize that there are so many of you pickers over there; Mickey being one of you; And I was beginning to think Dave Hartley was the only steel man from your great country. Keep them coming; we need more pickers heard over here..You're all great..Bernie :) :roll:
