Workshops 2015

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 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.

On behalf of MUGS I wish to congratulate you on a wonderful event that was the Redlands Ukulele Festival. It was absolutely fabulous and you and the organizers deserve great credit for staging such a successful event. We were happy to be part of the event and know that it will only get better 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.

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.

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 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.

– 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

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.

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.
