I am very happy that the Redlands Ukulele Festival was such a success. We’d love to be involved again 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

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

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.

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 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

I just want to congratulate you and the hard working team on such a wonderful, successful event over the week end. The children had an absolute fantastic time. They were so excited to perform and it was so lovely that the audience were so receptive and supportive of their efforts. I was so proud to see them performing and singing confidentially in front of a big audience at such a young age. I really enjoyed seeing the terrific Ukulele groups performing. It’s so nice to see people sharing their passion for music. Definitely count us in for next year.

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

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 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.
