Welcome To The Kala Brand UK Family Amelia Coburn!

It's fair to say, Amelia & her amazing band, absolutely smashed 2024!

In March last year, Amelia released her debut Album: "Between The Moon And The Milkman", which made the Top 15 in the Folk Charts and was also described by music legend Paul Weller as "The Best Thing I've Heard All Year".

And just recently Amelia has been recommended as a "Must See Act in 2025" by Drowned in Sound. Well, on that note you'll be glad to hear that new music is on it's way!

Along with new music means only one thing....A NEW TOUR!

With all this fuss following Amelia right now, if you do plan on popping along to show? You best get your tickets... FAST!

💜Welcome To The Family: Romeo💜

The fact that Romeo has chosen to play Kala whilst having so many amazing instruments at his disposal on the day to day, makes this even more special.

"After visiting the Kala factory in Petaluma, California earlier this year, I got to witness some amazing instruments (Such as the Revelator) being made in the wild by their fantastic team. The one thing that I took with me from that visit was their ethos and positive message in music, I found that really inspiring. So, it makes me happy to say that I'm now an official Kala Artist and plan on continuing their positive message through my own music with my various bands........ and of course behind the desk at The Southern Ukulele Store.

I am over the moon with my new Kala Solid Body UBass (nicknamed Polly the Fallen Angel) and I cant wait to show her off to the world." Romeo

"Extra! Extra! Read all about it!"

10 years ago, our good friend Matt of World Of Ukes, nervously asked us about the possibility of sponsoring his brand new venture in lieu of a printed advert.

Fast forward to today and as you can see, we still proudly take up that 1st page of the magazine all these years later!

We are so proud of Matt & Diane have accomplished in the 10 amazing years we've had so far 👏🏼

It was so nice to catch up with Matt on our recent visit to Cecil Street,Carlisle.

We managed to take a few snaps and got to sit down and talk about our new and exciting venture.

We look forward to reading the Interview and of course another amazing edition of UKE.

Congratulations
🔟🎉👏🍾🥂

We are proud to announce Lester T Web as an official Kala Brand Artist.

Lester: "I’m absolutely honoured to be recognised as an official Kala Artist and I look forward to working closely with them. I’ve been friends with the team for quite some time and have been increasingly impressed by their heart and desire to build communities of musicians at both domestic and international level.

The Kala Contour Series (KA-CT-SA-TG) is a true reflection of Kala's determination to listen to the market place and get it right for their customers in playability, tone, projection and overall playing experience. The moment I picked this Ukulele up, it blew me away and there was no question of having one to accompany me on my creative journey."

Welcome to the family Lester.
