11th Irish Steel Guitar Festival, 13-14 Oct. 2012

The Irish Steel Guitar Association announces that the Irish Steel Guitar Festival - which we know is attended by dobro players - will take place this year on the weekend of Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 October 2012. The featured artists include players from the USA, Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Finland. Each player will be backed by a six-piece band.
