UKULELE BIZARRO - May 21st, 2009 - Montreal - Il Motore - A wunderbar SUCCESS!

Thanks to McAuslan Brewery, Italmelodie, and Indyish for sponsoring the event. Thanks to Martin - the amazing sound man who made our ukulady line-up sound like a dream! Risa Dickens, Miss Dynamite, MEB, Caracol, NIVE, and Krista Muir lit up the stage with their varied ukulele styles! DJ Oahu provided the inter-act music and Lederhosen Lucil was the perfect MC to host and play the event! Cupcake Fairy provided tropical treats (those pineapple squares - to die for!) to make the night complete. And congrats to all the raffle winners - there were many prizes including a brand new concert uke from Italmelodie. Here are some beautiful photos by Natalie Gadoua (our local mamarazzi!) for you to enjoy. We hope to see you all at the next one!
