PART 1 of our visit to the European Ukulele Festival, held in Groß-Umstadt, Germany in August 2008.

It was organised and sponsored by Rigk Sauer of Risa

who did an incredible job looking after the artists and attendees... leaving everyone free to enjoy themselves!
with concerts, workshops, open mic, jamming, plenty of beer drinking and socialising in a beautiful setting over 3 days, it was action packed!
We had a fantastic time, and this is the first of at least 2 videos documenting the event.
Unfortunately we couldn't catch all the performances (or names!) so our apologies to those that are not included or are under-represented!
You can see Tim Sweeney on the main stage here:

Oh, and be sure to watch till the end to catch a snippet of The Hot Potato Syncopators

they really stole the show!
The next festival will be in 2010 - so make sure you go if you can!
I had to return my Ticket because I accepted a new job at that time ( thanks for returning my money btw - great service ). The Video is great like all you´re videos - But this one hurts... I obviously missed out big time :(
