Feedback from Previous Festivals

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

I found it helpful, good feedback from customers and it was a good trading day for me, and I think we should have more of these little festivals in Cleveland, and particularly in Bloomfield Street to help businesses improve more and more and get better exposure to the public. – Joseph

Thank you to Len and Karen from Binary Music for having us to the event again this year. Jet Music is always happy to get involved with the ukulele committees and festivals as we’re pretty heavily invested in the Uke scene. Really good show, excellent turnout, great venues and really good to see some excellent live performers and the talent each year increasing and the size of the whole event each year increasing. So, great job to Len and Karen from Binary Music and REDARTS team. – Eddie

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.

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.

Thank you very much for inviting me to be involved in the Ukulele Festival this year. I am really happy it it was such a success. Organisers should be very proud of their hard work that went into it and the success of the week end.

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.

Thank you for your efforts in organising the 2014 Redlands Ukulele Festival. The venues, workshops and guest artist were spectacular. Thanks also for providing me with the opportunity to perform at the Sat. and Sun. concerts with the Dukes. I loved the Ukulele groups practice session prior to the event. Redland City was also a great winner I look forward to next years event.

What a huge success the Uke Festival was. Congratulations to you and the organizers of the event. I enjoyed the workshops with Mike and Tom. You all did a fabulous job. Hope to see you next year.
