The festival was magnificent, and the excitement of the fabulous prizes from our generous sponsors could not be better.

1st prize winner John Youngman
– Barron River Tenor Ukulele, donated by Allen McFarlen from
Barron River Ukuleles. John already owns a Barron River Ukulele and in a very generous gesture donated his prize Barron River Ukulele to Linda Simister, a Mt Tambourine-based lady who spends many hours helping disabled kids improve their lives through music. Her new ukulele will be a wonderful asset.

3rd Prize winner Kevin Rogers – a gorgeous Tanglewood Tenor ukulele, complete with pickup, donated by Steve Gray of Infinite Music, Nambour
