Wirksworth Ukulele Festival with Amelia Coleman and Phil Dolema

Wirksworth’s first Ukulele Festival!
WUF is a full day experience combining inspiring performances and workshops for beginners to experienced ukulele players.
AMELIA COBURN from the North East will charm with her fabulous voice and beguiling stage presence. Her highly evocative and narrative-driven songs explore unusual subjects while musically compositons draw on Tin Pan Alley Jazz and European folk music.
PHIL DOLEMAN’s love of vintage blues, swing, and jug band music shines through as he blows the dust off obscure old songs and gives new life to classics. With just his big voice, stomping foot, and driving rhythms on both ukuleles and banjos he’ll take you back to the juke joints of the 20s.
Expect to hear local groups: UKEWIRKS, WUZZALELE, THE WOOD STREET DOGS
Sign up for workshops on the day.
