ABOUT

Aloha,

We are a new ukulele project who are aiming to play 3 Ukulele or Folk Festivals a year as well as house concerts and 1 or 2 local bimonthly seaside gigs in Cairns.

Between the two of us we can play; ukulele, lead, and rhythm, bagpipes (although we try not too) violin and mandolin. We have good vocals and broad set lists covering Jazz Standards, Bluegrass, Contemporary hits, a couple of Irish pub songs as well as some originals in 4/4 swing.
