🎤 We asked the question after BUF24’ ‘What would you tell someone thinking of coming to Belfast Ukulele Festival?’ — and here’s some of the lovely things youtold us:
“Just go and enjoy yourself. It would be hard not to. If you make the effort to mix, then you'll just become part of the BUF family.”
“Definitely attend and buy a weekend ticket. There were so many learning opportunities, not just from the artists but from other attendees. As a beginner I learned a lot and did not feel judged for my lack of knowledge. I found people very willing to share their knowledge and skills making me feel welcomed and comfortable.”
“Do it, its very welcoming, interesting, fun with a real feel good factor”
“GO TO IT!!! Or miss out on the best ukulele festival around..”
“Do it! Book early and bring friends! It’s amazing.”
“Be there!”
“Great, great fun if you can at least play a little, so definitely come along. You can learn new skills and meet new people..”
“DO IT DO IT DO IT”
“Pluck up the courage, strum along and smile, smile smile”
“It's a fantastic time and a great showcase of local ukers!”
“It was a very lively, energetic and friendly experience.”
“I would tell any ukulele player that this is an event not to be missed.”
“There's something for everyone - those who want to jam and party, and for those who want a more low key experience. They will meet the best people, connect with a wonderful community and make friends. You'll want to come back and do it all next year!”
“Go, it’s good fun even if you don’t play the ukulele.”
“Sign up and Enjoy 100%”
“Book the weekend off!!! And get the weekend ticket!!”
“GOOOOOOOOOOOO !”
“Well worth it, full of energy, positivity and craic!”
“Fully immerse yourself in the experience, try everything, maximise the opportunity to learn new skills and make new friends”
