    Yay – Go BUMS! :D

    You forgot about MUK – the Melbourne Ukulele Kollective (and their garishly retina-burningly bright site http://www.muk.com.au/index.html) who hosted the MUF (Melbourne Ukulele Festival) last month.

    And apparently there’s a uke group in Wellington, New Zealand? I saw it on Facebook somewhere…

    Oh, and I think the address for Ukulele Canberra in the Map might need fixing?

    Thanks Al and Claudine :D

    Hey Woodie Woodshed, we have two groups in the Hunter Valley now – Newcastle, north of Sydney.

    The Ukastle Ukestra (Newcastle, NSW)

    and

    LakeMacUkestra (Lake Macquarie NSW).

    Both are directed by my good self and are evolving. Contact through my website (www.thesumoftheparts.com.au)

    Does this mean it all gets on the official list?

    Thanks for your good work!

    Mark.

    Great work. There are lots and lots of ukulele groups in New Zealand – 4 that I can think of off hand in my city, Rotorua, alone.

    Our group is the Thermaleles of course coming for the city of boiling mud and geysers and general thermal activity! Website to follow.

    Ha ha! Love how you’ve got us as the only uke group in NZ!! Ummm…there may be a bunch of Welly musos a little more hard out than us!

    Sydney Ukulele ‘n’ Beers meetup isn’t here

    http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=143179111373&ref=ts

    Last monday of the month to get a 2-week offset from the larger Balmain meetup. We’re at a nicer pub, though.

Got something to say?
