Feedback from Previous Festivals
– 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
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
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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
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
