Grand Northern Ukulele Festival / Events / Fri 05 to Sun 07 May 2017 (3 days)
2017 Grand Northern Ukulele Festival!
A Grand Northern Ukulele Festival (GNUF) is much more than just a ukulele gathering. It’s a properly unique festival that belongs to every one of its punters, players and makers. We couldn’t let a landmark like a 5th birthday pass us by so we’ve got some truly spectacular things in store! See you there, 5-7 May, 2017!
