You’ve probably read my blog about this years Berliner Ukulele Festival. There were lots of opportunities to play open mics and since I was too chicken to play last time I was here, I wanted to make up for it this year.
I want to do a little series on Ukulele Expectations vs. Reality. I feel like there’s quite some misconceptions out there about this instrument – and I totally bought into some of them.
First up: It will be easy.
From 25th to 27th of October it was time again for Berlin Ukulele Festival at UFA Fabrik. I had a great time last year so I didn’t want to miss it. I even came a day earlier than last year and stayed until Monday to make sure, that I could enjoy the whole festival.
I spent the first weekend of October in a lovely ukulele retreat in Lower Austria. It was organized by my ukulele friends Manuela and Markus (who also joined me at UFO Festival). They opened up their beautiful home and hosted a fun weekend.

I don’t want to do a full review of her show – or better shows. But since it was a very emotional ride for me, I do want to write a little bit about it.

So I’ve teamed up with Hricane Ukulele for an amazing giveaway. You have the chance to win this Hricane Concert Ukulele that comes with a gig bag.

Hricane Ukulele sent me a second ukulele as a review sample. I’ve seen quite some folks playing their ukes at several festivals in the last year, so I was really interested to see how they feel and sound. Either way, I’ve got way too many ukuleles around, so there is a giveaway coming up with this baby in October- so stay tuned.
