We look forward to seeing you there
Keith Lightfoot will be releasing his new songs at the Lauder Ukulele Festival, plus he is hosting a couple of key workshops.
Keith's teaching methods are extremely effective and loaded with humour... Be prepared to hear new ideas, to laugh and to have some fun :-)
Recent Feedback from "Anyone can sing in tune":
"I've been an amateur, working, lead singer/player since I was 8 years old and never once have I ever heard or been given a reason to even consider the point you are making. And it's so bloody simple and obvious. Boy, do I feel silly. But you make a powerful damn argument. Thank you so much. I'm learning a lot from you. Maybe old dogs CAN learn a new trick. Lol! So cool. God bless."
There are many exciting performers coming to Lauder Ukefest 2017 and an excellent variety of workshops and friendly/helpful tips for any level of ukulele player.
Note: All workshops have limited numbers, so book early to ensure your seat!

Lauder Ukulele Festival 2015
The small town of Lauder in Central Otago, New Zealand, came alive with laughter, love and music on Waitangi weekend 2015!
Hundreds of people descended on the village to enjoy a weekend of fabulous music, delicious food and often-crazy late night dancing.
Barry, Diane, Bruce and Esme worked hard to bring the event together and it was a huge success.
Thousands of photos were captured during the festival, here is a small glimpse, purely from my perspective.
More photos to be added over the next few days... Click on any image to enlarge on your screen.1

If you attended the Lauder Ukulele Festival over Waitagi week end there is a good chance you were captured in a photograph.... either: huddled under a blanket to keep warm while enjoying the festival, playing on stage, practising with your group, attending one of the lessons with the tutors, or simply having fun and enjoying the day... If you would like a digital copy/copies of any of the above photographs in exchange for a donation towards bird rescue please click here to contact me Andrea Lightfoot. Hover over the first image in the row that your image is in. Send me the row number Example: Row 110 Image 1, 2 or 3.
Lauder School Accommodation
I highly recommend the Lauder School Bed & Breakfast which offers a range of accommodation to suit everyone's needs. Bruce & Esmé were wonderful hosts, nothing is impossible. Lauder is a popular stopover when cycling the Otago Central Rail Trail, being the closest town to the impressive Poolburn Gorge, viaducts and tunnels. Enjoy true southern hospitality with Bruce & Esmé.
