Jake Shimabukuro To Tour The UK!

I am probably a little bit late to this party, but I don't usually put up gig or tour announcements on Got A Ukulele. This one is a little special though. Jake Shimabukuro is touring the UK for the first time ever. You heard that right - THE Jake Shimabukuro.

He is playing four dates:

Mike Hind to hit the UK!

Really pleased to see how this has come off - Mike (aka Uncle Elvis) is a great performer, resident in Bermuda but is making the trek to a no doubt cold UK for a mini tour this year!

Dates as above and I will certainly be in attendance at at least a couple of them. Being brought to you by the team behind GNUF. If you want to know more about Mike (as well you should) then visit his website on the link below!

See you at one of them!

Manitoba Hal - UK Performance and Workshop Tour 2014

A little while ago on Got A Ukulele I was lucky enough to interview Manitoba Hal and he explained that he would be conducting a short tour of workshops and performances in the UK during the summer.

At that time, the details were being worked out, but I am thrilled to note that the events are now live! See all the dates below.

As you will see he is performing all over the place so there is bound to be an event near you somewhere. He is a mesmerising player, but on top of all that, a very nice chap to be around. The whole thing has been organised by the team at the Grand Northern Ukulele Festival which takes place later this year in Huddersfield, and for details on booking any of these events on THIS LINK.

There is also a FACEBOOK PAGE for the tour too!
