POWER TO THE PEOPLE - YOUR CHANCE TO PLAY AT TOP SUMMER FESTIVAL

The latest addition to the bill at this year's Bestival is a gigantic ukulele band that will be made up solely of festivalgoers. Organised in cahoots with the fabulous Dulwich Ukulele Club, 'the Night of 100 Ukes' will take place on Sunday, the final evening of the festival.

If you would like to be part of the band then add yourself as a friend at www.myspace.com/nightof100ukes - details of songs, lyrics and chords you need to learn will also be posted there. Although rehearsals will primarily be held at the festival itself we will also be organising a get together for everyone who fancies taking part in August in a central London pub. You don't need any musical experience to join in the fun, just a ukulele and a little bit of enthusiasm.
