First printed in June 2017. What's inside? :- Dead Mans Uke are a great duo and their story, style and humour comes across in their interview. Backing them up are Mother Ukers, a much loved professional live act. And we interview (I say we... it's me innit!), the photographer of choice of many uke stars, James Millar. If that wasn't enough, there's also the story of Jonty from the The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, from his days on the school stage 'til his days on the stage of the likes of the Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall. JHS & Co. Ltd. have kindly provided a Laka bass ukulele that you can win in this issue's competition. We also have regulars like the Ukulele Movement (which visits Prague, Poland and Styria) and CD reviews by the knowledgable Mike Flaherty, who looks at the work of Ruby & Smith, Opera-lele and Matt Stead. The operatic duo also talk about how to gain confidence when singing, while Christine Turner looks at ukulele advice, the good, the bad and the terrible! We also have a song to learn from Phil Doleman and a lyric writing exercise to get you putting pen to paper. Josh Jewsbury also provides a useful intro to getting started with the bass uke. Talking of which, we review basses from Magic Fluke Co. LLC, Solwayer Guitars and Kala, as well as a Firefly banjolele. Oh, and Pete Howlett is back talking about the uke he'd make for himself. Finally, there's a roundup of the fabulous Austrian Ukulele Festival and a look ahead to the CZECH Ukulele Festival - which might just tempt to to start looking at those Easyjet flights...
