Aloha!
Bit of a blast from the past this month…
In 2002, I travelled to Honolulu with my brother Alastair to attend the 32nd Annual Ukulele Festival Hawaii. While I was there, I had the opportunity to interview the great Roy Sakuma, the man who invented the festival in 1972. We had a wide-ranging chat that included an amazing Lyle Ritz story, as well as some neat playing from Roy! Please excuse the audio quality – the conversation was digitised from a microcassette.
Hope you enjoy it!
