This year the Sawtell Ukulele Group is very excited to be giving two performances on the Sawtell Chilli Festival Community Stage! The Chilli Festival is on Saturday 2 July and at 10am we will be performing with some very special guest stars! Young Uko Ono students from Mary Help of Christians, Sawtell Public, Toormina Public, Casuarina Steiner School and St John Paul College will be performing a few numbers before the Sawtell Ukulele Group pump out their first set; and then the group will return for a second performance at Midday.

The kids are so excited to be performing on a big stage in front of family and friends and the Sawtell Uklulele Group is so happy to support them. A couple of the young students will be graduating into the Sawtell Ukulele Group next term, which will certainly help in bringing down the average age of the group!

The Sawtell Ukulele Group has prepared two very special sets for the Chilli Fest punters, including some rocking songs at 10am, and then a new Aussie Surf Rock set celebrating the best of the 70s and 80s at midday. So come along and join the fun and support tomorrow’s rock stars!
