NEWS-UKE-IN-USE! (Click on year above to see current or past news) 2012 - HAU'OLI MAKAHIKI HOU! Well, another year has come and gone and boy, what a year it was! Lots of exciting gigs, new music groups formed out of our ukulele group, new members have joined, met some celebrities and great musicians along the way too. Towards the end of the year I took an unfortunate turn for the worse and was 'out of commission' for the last couple of months of the year. Thanks to the loving support of everyone who help carry the group to the end of the year. Special thanks to Chris McIntosh, Terry Fitzgerald, Brenda Watkins, Jamie Tomaino, Annie Wegener, Joe Pesce, Kelsey FitzGerald and Susie "Kukui" Gancer. A look back. 2011 GIGS: THU APR 14 - "HELP!
