I live in Brisbane.
Actually there's a ukulele society here called BUMS (Brisbane Ukulele Musicians Society), but I'm not quite game to go to it. Their website seems to be talking about Tiny Tim / George Formby / Novelty Tunes, and I'm just not into that.
I am thinking about going to their next meeting though, so I can make an informed decision.

Yeah - I'm going to the Brisbane show. Gonna try and get a Jake squiggle on my uke, and hopefully will be wearing a UU T-Shirt (I doubt it'll get here in time though!)

Yeah, I'm from Melbourne. There is a Melbourne Ukulele Klub (MUK) but I'm not into the kind of music they play.
Good to see some other aussies!

Hi, your Far North Queensland rep here!
Don't like your local uke club? Start your own! There are more people interested in playing uke than you think!
I am more than happy to give you some ideas on how to do this, and I am sure John Pellow from the Belmain uke club would be too!

Yep, I am in Albury, hope to hook up with somebody local. Waiting for my new Risa solid concert to arrive next week, great service from Music City Cairns!
Keep laughing!

Welcome Peejay! Great to see some more Aussies here!
A Risa solid concert - wow! You'll have to post some pics. If you've bought it from Music City Cairns you won't be waiting long!! I've bought two ukuleles from them, and both have only taken two days. And Gaby is so helpful in answering questions.

Thanks 14, you are right, Gaby is right on top of the game, service was great & quicker than I expected. Interesting, it turned out costing less from Music City Cairns than it would have if I had bought direct from Risa. I am using the Risa with a Tascam MPGT1 Guitar trainer, plug in the headphones & drive just 1 person mad...Me. I will post a couple of pics in the next day or so (when I learn how). Later, Phil...
Hey Phil! That's great! Would love to see your pics.
