BRISBANE STEEL GUITAR
CLUB |
This club started with
very small beginnings of only 4 founding members, namely
Adrian Bramich, Clive Pearce, Ken Simmons, and Noel Anstead.
The Club now has many members who are Steel Players and
each year since 1995 they have held an Annual Festival.
The popularity of the Festivals saw it grow from the Club
Hotel in Waterford to the Kedron Wavell Services Club. Now held at Geebung RSL. |

St Paschal's Hall, 30 Warraba Avenue, Wavell Heights |

We apologize for the delay, but we have had difficulty in finding a hall that meets our needs.
We also apologize to some of our members who will now have to travel a little further to our monthly meetings, but on the other hand, it will be a lot closer for some of you.
Off street car parking is available in the area facing Warraba Avenue. We will have signs & members on site on the 14th December 2008, to advise you where to unload & where to park.

Most of us who know what a Steel Guitar
looks like recognizes that it isn't an electric or
an acoustic guitar with ‘steel strings’. As time
has passed it is great to see that people are becoming more
knowledgeable regarding the Steel Guitar.
We have heard bands
introduce the Steel Guitarist as the “guy on that ‘knitting
machine’ and we see the likeness, but……..
There are many types of Steel Guitars, from Lap Steels, Dobros,
and Pedal Steels with foot pedals and knee levers that you
need a licence to drive, to the Slide Guitar. |

| It has got to
be the beautiful sound of the Steel Guitar that draws people
to them, it certainly can’t be learning to play them,
as any steel guitarist will tell you what a challenge that
can be, but it is also very rewarding. The Steel Guitar is
commonly used as a backing instrument for vocalists and other
instruments combined, but the majority of Steel Guitar players
do play ‘instrumentals’ as well. These Steel players
play a range of music from Country, Country Rock, Jazz and
even Classical music. |
