WORKSHOPS GALORE! A new uke magazine & a competition! View this email in your browser Workshops on sale now! Play, perform, make things and have a grand time! We've been working hard behind the scenes to, once again, offer a wide range of new and exciting workshops. You could write a song and play it on stage with Mother Ukers if you take there, "Whose Uke is it Anyway!" workshop. You could build your own amp with Robert Collins. You could learn a whole heck of a lot with the amazingly talented and lovely Sarah Maisel. The Mersey Belles Busk Off is back and that's not even the half of it! Want to see more? All of the workshops are listed on our site. http://northernuke.com/2015/workshops/

We've also made a handy document that shows you all the workshops for each day on a single page. You can download that from our site or by following this convenient link to DOWNLOAD THE WORKSHOP LISTING. The most excellent Matt from Omega Music is launching a ukulele magazine for the UK!



We think it's a great idea and just wanted to share.



He's got some great interviews lined up and reviews of loads of instruments. We happen to know that his amazingly talented wife has had a hand in the design (which we think is both cool and nice). It seems to be a labour of love from a good few people who we think are more than just a little bit of alright*.
