Thanks Michael, so glad we did get a chance to play a little.

[@joephillips4082]

Looks like great fun. I'm eager to see part 2. I want to see the ukes the ladies bought.

[@UkuleleWales]

Hopefully you’ll see the new ukes in future vids but I can confirm they are all VERY happy with them! 😎

[@JuniperCo]

[@despeed]

Thanks for taking us with you to the festival, it was awesome. The photo on the crossing is iconic. Yet another great compilation of the adventures of the Ukumaniacs on tour. Diolch.

Was lovely to meet you Rachel. Look forward to seeing you at the new shop one day soon!

[@UkuleleWales]

You too Alex and it was lovely having chance for a quick chat too. Yes, hoping to visit the new shop very soon! 😊

[@WrenBull]

Great memories of a fantastic fun weekend (and thanks for talking me into buying a Flight bass)!

[@UkuleleWales]

I’m just so glad to have met you in person and even better that you got the Flight bass. I’ll be in touch soon about lessons. 👍

[@JonHancockUK]

Lovely to see some of the acts I missed (too much going on!); and great to finally say hello in person!

[@UkuleleWales]

Yes Jon, just sorry we didn’t get more time to chat, still got my badge. Are you going to make the Anarchy party / gig? Gutted, we have a gig that day otherwise I would go.

[@janebyford4080]

I’m in there! Great memories. Enjoying your videos.

[@UkuleleWales]

Glad you like the videos and of course had a great weekend too. 😊

[@Seymourphotos]

Brilliant Rachel !! Its was like being back in Cheltenham again !! Looking forward to part 2.

[@UkuleleWales]

Thanks Alan, like you with your photos, you get to relive all the best bits again and again. 😎

[@janwright4534]

Thanks for filling in some missing gaps as I couldn’t be in 2 places at once! Always great talking to you too with your techie knowledge!

[@UkuleleWales]

It was busy wasn’t it! Lovely chatting to you Jan and hopefully see you again soon. 😊

[@janwright4534]

@@UkuleleWales hopefully GNUF next year!

[@nekonana91]

So there’s the lady that bought the Maia from under my nose 🤣🤣 lovely video, great to be able to “relive” it 🤩🤩

[@UkuleleWales]

Sorry you didn’t get one too. I’m pretty sure Vicky would have run in there if she could have! I😉

[@TinTin1958]

A wonderful weekend, great to see everyone 🥰🥰

[@UkuleleWales]

Absolutely, so so nice! 🥰

[@ianwalker682]

That looks like such a fun time!! I think I might cry too if I got my hands on that steel string baritone. They have been selling so fast I haven't been able to find one yet.

[@UkuleleWales]

Oh Vicky was sooooo excited as we were all fairly convinced there wouldn’t be any there, so getting the only one……. Yes lots of happy tears. It does sound gorgeous too. Good luck in your quest for one. 🤞

[@ianwalker682]

@@UkuleleWales I'm glad she was able to get one! Thank you, I think it will be worth the wait so I just have to be patient.

[@aaronag7876]

Wow I never knew that existed and yes definitely it could get expensive lol

[@ukulelainer2238]

Thanks for letting us experience some of this AWESOME festival! What bass were you playing for the open mic?

[@UkuleleWales]

Hi Elaine, I was playing my Magic Fluke Timber bass - mainly because it fitted in my double bass uke case but it’s also very light to be carrying around all day, plus it’s lovely to play. 😊

[@anorak211]

Day tickets were not available until only days before the fest. This was hopelessly to late, day tickets need to be available from the start of the ticket sale process, Im not paying £80 for one day. Ukfogb needs to get day tickets sorted

[@UkuleleWales]

As this was a first I think there will probably be a few tweaks before the next one. I know Matt and his crew did an awesome job on the weekend itself and no doubt will have learnt a few things too. It would be very cool to meet in person one day though. 🤞
