We hope to be able to confirm the venue early next week, along with the exact dates. Phil Hague - thanks for that. We will bee looking up as many uke groups as possible and inviting them to attend. Even southerners (like people from Sheffield) will be welcomed with open arms. We have a...

The Big Kahuna - I'm not sure, but I think that post may be vaguely racist?

Barefootgypsey - We want this festival to have a "northern" identity, but we also want it to be inclusive. Ukulele, banjoleles, Hawaiian-style, trad-style, Formby-style, everyone is welcome. Plus, we are working on a line-up that will incorporate as many genres as possible. If you have a uke...

Greetings I thought I'd mention that we (meaning a good half dozen people and myself) are planning a ukulele festival in mid-late October in the North of England. We've actually talked about it a lot, met a number of times and convinced ourselves that we should build it (and people might come)...
