CONCERT FEATURES:
The North's very own Jazzuleles - two wonderfully spirited ladies, Shirley-Ann and Alison, giving a Polynesian flavour to their performance.
Tom "The Pom" Harding. - Tom the Pom has been playing for absolutely ages and really should be better than he is by now. Leading music workshops has taken him to Hong Kong, Dubai, Switzerland, Portugal and even Dubbo. He’s got 80 djembes, enough gear for a 100 person samba bateria and just over 200 ukuleles which he takes to schools all over NSW and into QLD and Victoria. His love of community music is only matched by his love of dad jokes.
Coolibah Collective - from Canberra but now part-time residents on beautiful Magnetic Island
Dan MacEoin - fresh from the Hills Uke Fest, Dan is the music teacher at Emerald Primary School, teaches ukulele after school to both children and adults, the leader of two ukulele groups at HUF, the figurehead of HUF and can often be seen micromanaging something at the festival in a hawaiian shirt. Dan is presenting at the Saturday AUTLA Uke Workshops.
The inimitable "Willie Nelson's Love Child Show" - featuring Sandra Beynon and Sean Mullen (ex-Brisbane) giving some of the great man's songs a swingingly different treatment with a gaggle of ukes on stage.
