Feedback from Previous Festivals
It was a great week end. Many thanks to all the group that worked so hard to make it a wonderful event, but special thanks to Karen and Len for all their persistence in keeping the Redlands Ukulele Festival this year. Hope it can continue next year.
– I thought it was awesome and fantastic to see all those professional guys and girls up there having a go at their ukuleles and I think they’ve done a fantastic job. And to put this festival on it takes a lot of hard work for Karen and Len and the sponsors and that, to come up and actually have it in Cleveland, have it in the Redlands, because in my whole life I’ve never been to one, I used to live in Maryborough and they never had one up there. When I came to the Redlands I saw the road signs and found out about the festival. I enjoyed it and I hope there’s more to come like this. – Brad
I enjoyed working at the Ukulele Festival, my husband and I enjoyed the concert and appreciated the work, time and effort that you and the RedArts committee contributed to such a successful event. Congratulations it certainly was a successful event.
Overall, I thought it was fabulous, it was really well organised. The artists were amazing, the crowd was great and it was just a really good two days worth of entertainment. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I highly recommend it, anyone who wants to come along next year should come along and have a listen. It’s fabulous! – Michelle
The Ukulele festival was special to me because I did my first open mic on the street singing and playing ukulele at the La Bella Restaurant space organised by the festival. I had so much fun, people were singing along. I had tears in my eyes watching the talent of Ryo Montgomery, people danced in the hall as the MUGS played. Girls decorated ukes with coloured paints and Jewels. Everyone smiled, whether they were performers or in the audience, there was a light in people’s eyes, it’s about the joy. – Maree
I am very happy that the Redlands Ukulele Festival was such a success. We’d love to be involved again next year.
The weekend was fantastic, I came here on Saturday for the open mic, geez there’s some talent there eg our young local student Georgie Taylor who won the bursary last year’s festival. She has really progressed this year and she’s going to grow up to be a very famous lady. Sunday was fantastic, the weather was inclement, but the alternative venue was good, Len and Karen and REDARTS did a fantastic job. – George
On Thursday we had the ukulele group in the shopping centre performing and that was great to hear them and it was good for business for me. They all like to come down for lunch afterwards. On Saturday we had a busier Saturday than the last few Saturday and we were hoping that was because of the impact of the Ukulele Festival. – Kate
Thank you for your thank you letter for supporting the Ukulele Event . It was my pleasure to contribute towards such a successful week end and I appreciated the opportunity for Jet Music to come down and have a Stall.
We really enjoyed it, I think the customers who weren’t even aware of the festival loved it as well. A lot of them came up and listened to the music too. It would be great if there were something like that all the time, actually, it’s fun but it needs to be a bit longer maybe if possible a whole day. A lot of customers who were sitting inside got up and listened to the music, it’s definitely something that needs to happen a lot more. – Lisa
