Wrap up of World Ukulele Day

What a day!  The Coorparoo Bowls Club was packed, and our three stages were well-supported by over 180 ukulele players (and spectators who came to hear what a fun instrument it is).  Nine hours of ukulele!  Here are some photos from the day.

Event organiser, Max Borchardt, kicked off the day of jams and performances by introducing a workshop by David McGerrity and Sam Vincent (Tyrone and Lesley).  Details of their upcoming album launch are here.

Amazing to have over 100 players together at 9.30 in the morning.

Sublime Ukulectics kicked off the music on the Beer Garden stage.
