First International Ukulele Festival Belsele
Next weekend, on the 5th of May 2007, the First International Ukulele Festival in Belsele ( a place in the northwestern part of Belgium) will be organised. Belsele is a little place between Antwerp and Ghent.
On that day everything revolves around this tiny instrument, the ukulele in all its variations. The festival starts at 12.00 o'clock and lasts until midnight. The festival is located at the 't Ey in Belsele.
Last, but not least, I love to point you to Ukulelazaza, a Dutchman, who lives within a stone's throw of the festival nowadays, plays the ukulele for years and performed at previous festivals as the Rotterdam String Festival. He shows at a filmed fragment below that he is pretty good at playing the ukulele. The complete program of the festival has a lot more surprises to offer.
Ukulelezaza plays Under Paris Skies

Nederlands / Vlaams ( To the English translation )Op deze zonnige dag ( dat wordt tenminste beloofd ) draait alles om dit kleine instrument, de ukulele in al zijn verschijningsvormen. Het festival begint om 12.00 uur in 't Ey in Belsele en duurt tot middernacht. Op het programma staan verschillende optredens van internationaal beroemde ( en bijna beroemde) ukulelespelers gepland en een tentoonstelling van het Ukulogisch Museum. Verder zijn er workshops en een open podium, waar nu al, volgens de organisatoren, zelfs musici uit Japan op af zullen komen.
