THE SMOKIN' CRAWDADS
From Left to Right: Mick Anderson, Mike Martin, Andy Tainsh, Vaughan Jones, make up The Smokin' Crawdads from Brisbane. They led off the Sunday Festival Concert with hand clapping and foot tapping music and vocals. They are a very professional band and this year we had the pleasure of a keyboard player who joins them for larger gigs. They really WOWED us plus. Thank you for all the hard work you put in for us guys, we know the Artists enjoyed playing to your backing.

 
MARK MOULYNOX
From Tamworth. New South Wales. Australia
 

Mark Moulynox enjoys playing a Single Necked Pedal Steel Guitar, a Dobro and a Banjo. How's that for versatility, and he played each instrument showing his terrific musicianship. He held the audience's attention for the duration of his playing. Listening to Mark was a great way to start off a varied Programme. Mark was also one of the tutors for our Seminar, and from all reports he was well received.

KEN BAKER
from Lavington, New South Wales. Australia
 

Ken Baker played a Double Necked Emmons Pedal Steel Guitar, and was backed by the band along with his son Phil.

Ken proved to be a very accomplished player who enjoys playing Jazz and Blues, and improvising very well. We also got the feeling that Ken had an influence on his son.

PHIL BAKER
from Albury. New South Wales. Australia
 

Apart from Phil being very good on the Rhythm Guitar, his forte is the Double Necked Sho Bud Pedal Steel Guitar.

Phil had us spell bound with his renditions on the Pedal Steel Guitar, and like his Dad leans towards Jazz and Blues. Phil is a very accomplished young player who obviously enjoys his music.

SAMSON JAMES
from Brisbane. Queensland. Australia

 

Samson James is a popular singer around Brisbane and further afield. He certainly gave our Sunday Festival variety with renditions of his songs. One of these songs was written by his mother which gave Samson's performance a very nice touch.

KENNY KITCHING
from the Gold Coast. Queensland

 

Well what can we say about being honoured with Kenny's presence. His expertise and versatility are superb. This photo also shows that Kenny thoroughly enjoyed himself at the Festival and we thoroughly enjoyed his ability and style of playing. He isn't only a terrific player, but he is also a very genuine man of the Steel and personage.

Kenny not only played in his allotted programme time but he also backed Samson with the band.

Thank you Kenny.

Kenny has a life time of music behind him and we hope he has many more to come.

Wasn't it great to see Winnie Winston performing at our Festival again. We would like to extend a very big thank you to Winnie for a special effort to join us, in spite of his health problem.

Winnie played at his superb best, endearing himself to all of us, and entertaining us and proving he is still a master of the Pedal Steel.

Winne not only played on the Sunday, but he also Tutored at our Seminar on the Saturday Afternoon as well.

BOB ALLOWAY
from Tamborine. Brisbane. Queensland. Australia

 

Bob Alloway enjoys playing his blue Zumm Pedal Steel Guitar with Double Necks.

Bob made an excellent job of performing for us and played some up beat songs, and his playing reflects his bouyant personality.

Bob has to be commended for playing so well, as he is still recovering from shoulder surgery after a serious car accident.
