Festival Director, Nick Balsdon said: “Totnes has always been a place where creativity thrives, and the ukulele embodies that spirit perfectly.

“This year’s festival is our most ambitious yet, with more workshops, more performances and more opportunities for Tuke Festers to get involved by playing along.”
