Bob, me, Jan, Robyn and Mary the Waipu Ukulele Band!
I have been so inspired by the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra that I asked my friend Robyn to teach me and then we began studying with Bob McNeely, a fantabulous guitar player and teacher. Now there are four of us women playing and two more who would like to join us in the Waipu Ukulele orchestra, also known, perhaps, as Bob and the Waipuukuleles! at a recent party we had our first public performance - truly a rehearsal for our upcoming performance - and we were a hit! At least we were in our own minds...and we had so much fun it was hard to believe. Watch this space for more and perhaps a conncection to YouTube soon!
I am also thrilled to announce that I'm going to the British Ukulele Concert at the Wellington Festival of the Arts soon, and if you think I'm nuts. google both British ukulele and Wellington Ukulele and check out their videos on You Tube.
