Festival Committee Chair
My name is Jackie Knowles, I'm a co-owner/Director of a local business Te Anau Auto Electrical Limited with my very supportive husband Jeremy, a mother of two girls and a Registered Nurse. I fell in love with this amazing instrument called ukulele 6 years ago. Words cannot express the challenges, the laughs and the people I have met since playing this awesome instrument. It has been life changing for me and I'm betting everyone else who I have drawn into my uke fun web will also relate.
I never would have dreamed in a million years that I would be lead in a band and having such a ball constantly learning this exciting little instrument. Music is magic, it is the key to my sanity and survival. So it is because of my love for ukulele and my majestic picturesque home of Te Anau that I have decided to gather like minded people together to bring our town alive with the inaugural Te Anau Ukulele Festival - TUF22. It is my dream for everyone to come and enjoy all that Te Anau has to offer. So we have planned the festival with this in mind. I want you to soak up uke vibes in the paradise of Fiordland, reunite with old friends and make new friends, also taking new uke material home to challenge yourself. Leaving knowing that you will come back for more. Make this a trip of a life time in October to Te Anau, I promise you will never be the same! |
