Happy Saturday!
Here’s another FB memory of the hootenanny that was our Launceston Ukulele Jamboree of 2025!
Mama Juju & The Jam Tarts from QLD had the Earl Arts Centre jumping! So damn good. 😀👏👏👏
(The tiny little turned timber chair in the foreground of the stage decorations is a family heirloom of mine - a dear old long lost cousin gifted it to me early last year, and I found out that my long departed nan Pearl had breastfed my dad on it, then it was passed to dads sister to feed her kids on it, and then passed to my mum to feed me and my 4 siblings on. History. Gotta love it. It deserved to be on display in a wild celebration of life and community 🩷)
