The Road to Finland
As you’ve probably seen by now either on Instagram or Facebook, I’ll be playing and giving a workshop at the Tropical Winter Ukulele Festival (TWUF) in Finland.

Hey lovelies, hope you are ready for another fun, animal song. I’ve been on holidays together with my husband, and somehow we both were in songwriting mood. As you probably know, we’ve been writing “Executive Realness Monkey Business” together and our recent collab includes animals as well. But there’s a bit more to the story of the song.

As you all know, I’m a huge Amanda Palmer fan. Last weekend she started a songwriting contest and of course, I had to enter it. There’s also a back story as to why she started the contest:

Last weekend it finally happened – my first performance on main stage at Oslo Ukulele Festival. If you’ve read the whole series about the Road to Oslo, you already know what got me here, so I just want to focus on how it went now.

Open Stage Fright
In an attempt to get better with live gigs and playing in front of a real audience I did some open-mics at GNUF and Austrian Ukulele Festival. I thought it might be a good topic for an own blog entry, so here it is.
