Ukelear Meltdown is a one-day festival of ‘extreme’ ukulele that will take place at the Star and Shadow Cinema in Newcastle on February 23 2008. It will include short films, Rock that Uke, a feature documentary from the USA, plus a ukulele workshop, a chance to win a beautiful electric uke kindly donated by the nice folk at RISA Musical Instruments and five live bands. Ukelear Meltdown will celebrate lo-fi, punk rock approaches to the ukulele. As the cheapest, easiest-to-play and most democratic of instruments, the uke is perfectly suited to DIY solutions to music making. It can be learned in an hour and mastered in a matter of months, and even the best made uke will cost little more than £100. It is therefore a powerful sound-making tool when used with imagination, creativity and energy! William Preston Roberston,
director of Rock that Uke, MC for the night will be well-known Tyneside uker George Welch.
