Woodshed, I’ve got the fluke. I’m pretty sure it would hold up ;)

Seeso: I snogged yo mama.

Dagada: I should have mentioned Mr B as well. He put on a good show. Just a shame you couldn’t hear what he was saying too well.

I’m sure your chum’s aware of the fact – you can’t be that cute and not know it.

Yay! I’m ever so clearly visible in the photo – at last, I’ve made it onto Uke Hunt.

The fest was a wonderful day, and it was an amazing feeling to be surrounded by so many gorgeous ukers. It was great to finally see The Bobby McGee’s live (and I’m loving the new CD) as well as Mr B. And the rush of euphoria during the world record smash was astonishing!

Now, my chum was in a sailor suit. She may be most chuffed to hear she’s cute!

Ian: Great to meet you too. Fill the place with 5000 people and it might sound OK.

Lonna: I usually find a boot to the child’s face to be more efficient and less damaging to to my uke.

joert: Thanks for the walkabout video. I think it has nearly everyone on at some point.

Raven: It certainly was.

Jimmy: The George Formby Society scares me a bit – with everyone dead set on doing the voice and note-for-note renditions of his solos.

Ken: Thanks very much. I’m now quite tempted to go hiking round all Europe’s uke festivals.

krabbers: Glad you found it eventually.

+one: Are you going to the Cairns Uke Fest?

Thanks for the generous comments Al. And thanks too for a great summing up of the day. I like these “10 points” articles very much.

I really enjoyed talking with you and the others that I had never met before. It was a great day out.

A huge debt of gratitude is owed to you by the world’s ukulele players for all the work you do. Like many others, I check your website every single day. Thanks Al.
