This award-winning ukulele and double bass duo's music is designed to defy drop-down lists. Keen to bring you the songs they wrote at Nobby's Head lighthouse, Newkulele favourites Tyrone and Lesley "...may appear as if they are from a different era, but their messaging is very aptly of the now" (Bluecurtains).
Green Fieldz
7:20pm - 8:00pm
Green Fieldz is Keith Rea and Sally Carter creating a storm of high end energy with blazing fiddle, wild guitar work and melodic ukulele. Soaring vocal harmonies add to their unique sound which blends the many musical genres they play into a journey of fun.
Jack Jel Mac & Wal
8:20pm - 9:00pm
A four part harmony band full of rich vocals, originals songs and covers that are a bit country, jazzy and prog rock. Jack, Jel, Mac and Wal are a rare commodity: performers who can teach, teachers who can perform; multi-instrumentalists (guitar, bass, banjo, and trumpet) but particularly ukulele. Their original song writing is tender, toe-tapping and often silly!
