We are proud to announce the names of the inductees into the European Steel Guitar Hall of Fame for 2009. They are also the the first inductees because the Hall of Fame was only instituted this year.
The selection process has been difficult with so many great artists, past and present, to choose from but the selection committee has made its choice knowing that only a limited number of players could be inducted in any one year.
However the guiding principle has been that each and every one of them has had a great and profound influence upon the playing and popularity of the steel guitar in Europe.
