Ukulele Festival 2009,a free, fun, family day out guaranteed to put a smile on your face and was held on at the Mt Smart Stadium in Penrose, Auckland.
Some of my school kids took part in this Kiwileles, a 1300 strong massed ukulele orchestra. There was a great line up of local and international ukulele artists including Tongan virtuoso Sione Aleki and the ever-popular Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra.
When D was young, I bought from a flea market a little ukulele. She used to strum it and pretend it was a guitar. Today, she is the only of my kids who is musically inclined.

Ukulele is a nice instrument. Reminds me of coconut palms hula skirts and good music....
How interesting...but I have never seen one before, only on TV :O
ReplyDeleteUkuleles are relatively cheap instruments, our Polynesian students are encouraged to learn it. The school had on loan some too.
