The Wellington Ukelele Orchestra is playing in this Opera House in Oamaru on Sunday night. Prior to this is a ukefest where many groups come together and sing and various will play their own songs. There are two groups coming from different towns but we are expecting quite a number of school groups to attend as well.
That is so cool! My grandmother was part of a ukelele orchestra in high school. She also gave lessons. I have a picture of her giving a lesson to someone on the roof of an apartment building! I would love to hear your group- I'll look forward to the video.
@hudamor Yes, I saw that Huda - I think it was a very young child from the school that was here - He was sound asleep but thinking about it, not really natural! However, they all got up and left!
What a great festival that will be. It's amazing the sounds that can come from those 4 little strings. Nice shot, Maggiemae. It's interesting to me how many things New Zealand and Hawaii share, like great ukelele music.
@happypat Oh, yes, Pat - I was singing with this group but went out in front to take the photo. Sunday will be very exciting - lots of singing and playing!
