The Steel Guitar Forum

Update: The photos below were taken yesterday, June 10 2017, at Hans de Jong's Steel Guitar Party in beautiful Oudewater (Holland):

Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of attending the first concert of 'United Steels Of Europe' now comprising of stellar steel guitarists Nils Tuxen (DK), Mark Horn (DE), Lionel Wendling (F) and the legendary Koos Biel (NL) - it was unbelievable! 30 years after their last concert Nils re-united his old band in preparation for Hans de Jong's big steel guitar birthday party in Oudewater on 10 June. Also part of the band are Lionel's wonderful girlfriend Muriel Calmel (F) on piano and the outstanding rhythm group consisting Benjamin Hüllenkremer on bass and Michael Muth on drums (both DE).

I hope to see them on steel guitar conventions soon, they are a pleasure to listen to.

I got excited when Koos told me about this! Can't wait to see some video!

Alright! Congratulations! That's great to hear. There's nothing like steel events, steelers wandering around with that glazed-over look like they might have got bit by some kind of insect.
Maybe even a kerchief in the back pocket to wipe occasional sweat droplets from the brow after hearing or playing enjoyable steel.

I updated the post. Videos will follow this week.

Great record !!!

Bump this UP! You gotta check out their YouTube of "Steel, Steel, Steel" with tributes to Lloyd, Buddy, Herb Remington, Tom Brumley and Jimmie Crawford. Very cool, so well-played, and spot-on!
