Aloha travellers, today I have a lovely conversation with a music teacher from Warkworth. Not the Warkworth castle in the Uk or the prison in Northumberland either. Grab a cuppa and come with me for another uketastic chat with a fellow ukist from Warkworth New Zealand, the very lovely Dianne Morgan.

Aloha travellers, today we're leaving the shores of Australia to talk with one of our many international ukulele friends. In the province of Saskatchewan there is a lot to see & experience. Our guest today will tell us more about her home and the joy of playing ukulele with friends both near and far. I hope you enjoy meeting Pam.

Friends, for those of you who venture further afield in the South Pacific you may have travelled to New Zealand and met our guest for todays podcast, Cathie Dunsford aka the Riff Queen. Cathie has a wonderful life story and journey with ukulele so, make yourself a cuppa and take a seat for 26mins as Cath tells you about her life, travels, writing, music and love of kai moana. Thank you Cathie for your time and fabulous stories. It was great connecting with you!PS: Apologies for my barking heeler dotted throughout this recording.

Aloha travellers! It's a jammed packed uke yarn today as I talk to the vivacious Bernie Newman. Bernie shares some lovely stories about living , loving & uking in Townsville.

If you love ukulele & travel, you won't regret it!

Aloha travellers, we catch up with Kim Burns a community ukulele leader in country Victoria, Australia. In 2025, Kim is stepping down from one project to take up another with new bandmate Kath! It's no laughing matter! This Kath and Kim duo is destined to do ukeTastic things as their new band persona 'Vintage Vixens' ventures into diverse opportunitites.

Aloha travellers, it's my pleasure to introduce to you Cameron Murray, a lovely chap, great ukulele player and ambassador for all things ukulele. This is the first of many fun conversations so sit back and enjoy learning a little bit more about the man behind KamUke.
