Sing 'nuke folk & blues band
Paul Jonson, Wayne Morris and Jason Fell have been performjng together at various international festivals and local events for almost 10 years.
Paul is a frequent performer and workshop presenter at ukulele festivals throughout Australasia, and around the world. He's well-known both for his blues and ragtime playing, and his ukulele customization skills.
Paul's sets of folk and blues, Jason's talents on chromoharp and blues harp and Wayne's incredible rhythms on washboard, cajon (and anything 'hitty-bangy') have built the sound to a dynamic mix.
Their ukulele-based adaptations, from ballads to foot stomping blues to hopping good ragtime, engage all audiences.
All three share their music as teachers and entertainers, and their willingness to jam and collaborate is what brought them together.
There will be a Pub Singalong (and early registration) at the Harbourview Hotel on Friday evening.
Fri Sept 4, 6 – 7pm in the Garden Bar
On Sunday there will be opportunities for groups to perform at locations around town (20 to 30 min sets). Locations may be weather dependent. Performances will be mid-morning through to lunchtime.

Also on Sunday: Farewell Concert at the Harbourview Hotel
Grab some lunch and a last round of short performances from local and invited acts before you head home.
Sun Sept 6, 12 noon – 1.30pm in the Garden Bar.
