Ukulele appreciation brings community together at home

Posted on: Thu 30 Apr 2020

The ukulele is a little instrument with a big heart. It’s flexible, portable and a great introduction to the world of music.

The Gov’s Adelaide Ukulele Appreciation Society has been running for 13 years under the guidance of Richard Tonkin, who caught up with Festival City’s Sarah Martin to discuss how the society continues to meet online during lockdown.
