The Ukulele Hooley By The Sea
The Ukulele Hooley By The Sea celebrates the diminutive Hawaiian instrument popularized again by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole in the 1990’s. Saturday’s programme features workshops and master classes for players of all levels, a ‘Uke-Bus’ filled with players busking their way around the coast, followed by an open-mic evening session at Buskers Corner on the Pavilion quarter by the seafront. Sunday’s Big Ukulele Hooley Concert takes place in The People’s Park and the international lineup features Del Ray, Dead Man’s Uke and Belgium’s Winin’ Boys.
The Ukulele Hooley By The Sea takes place in Dún Laoghaire on August 22nd and 23rd. For more see www.ukulelehooley.com
