Anarchy In The Ukulele

16/02/2025

In just over a week, I will be taking the Southern Ukulele Store back out on the road for the evening. This time, over to Bury St Edmunds to see the folks from Anarchy In The Ukulele

If you are attending and want me to bring something specific from SUS to try, or buy. Please be sure to let me know! A common thing I'm finding with these events is people rushing over to me to ask me about the nicheiest of the niche ukuleles or strings in all of niche town. I'm absolutely happy to bring something up just for you but you definitely need to let me know what it is between now and the 25th of this month.😅😘

I will be performing if anyone shows up 🤣
