Feedback from Previous Festivals

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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

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

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
