2014 So far
2014 has been a busy year so far for the Uke Muster. We recently opened the Deni Blues and Roots festival, performing alongside sensational international acts such as John Mayer, Michael Franti and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros as well as home grown Aussie talent such as Cash Savage & the Last Drinks. During the festival we even made it onto the Today show!
We have a lot to look forward to this year: local gigs, the Deni Ute Muster over Labour day weekend and our second uke festival in November. More news to follow soon!

CHANGES TO WORKSHOPS & NEW WORKSHOPS ADDED
Please open the PDF document below to view the current workshop schedule
'Old School’ will now be presented by Ukulele Carnivale in session 1.
There will now only be one session of ‘Songwriters of a certain age’ during the afternoon (session 3).
Due to lack of interest ‘Ukulele for Kids’ has been dropped. However children who can already play the ukulele are most welcome to join in any of the
sessions.
This workshop is being replaced by 'Strumming Outside the Box' with Bill Plant. Bill and his wife started Wangukes years ago. They have written two books and conducted many workshops for hundreds of people at ukulele festivals. This workshop will show you how to get out of those repetitive strum patterns that murder a good song! Aimed at intermediate level.
‘Ukulele Maintenance’ with Chris Bodey is a new session. Chris will explain how to look after your uke, in particular adjusting the bridge, looking after the neck and restringing. All levels welcome.
‘Ukeology of the North East’ with Wangaratta Uke Group is a new session. Members of the Wangaratta Ukulele Band recently produced a CD of old and original songs pertaining to North East Victoria. They are happy to share their experience with you in an informal discussion group – with some playing, of course. Aimed at Intermediate level.
‘Ukulele 101’ is for beginners over the age of 12 or for younger children if accompanied by a participating parent.
'Ukulele 201' has been cancelled.
