Born in Hawaii in the 1880′s, the ukulele was so easy to play that by the 20′s, it was the most popular instrument in the American home. But then the rise of the rock and roll guitar pushed the uke into nerdy obscurity. UNTIL NOW! In the Internet age, the instrument is making a comeback, and a new generation is rediscovering a unique musical voice.
Have a yen to play? Strumming already? The workshop is an (approx) 2 hour session on ukulele technique, catering for all levels. Come along and find out what all the buzz is about! And then stay for the following event at 17:00 which includes the documentary, The Mighty Uke, along with a live performance from uke Maestro, James Hill, known as “the Wayne Gretzky of the ukulele”!
