One of the great delights of ukulele festivals is meeting up with ukulele friends and it was wonderful to see so many at the Ukulele Hooley By The Sea. Tom Allard, an old ukulele friend from Michigan travelled all the way to Dun Laoghaire and was the life and soul of the festival!
He also made this wonderful compilation video of the festival, just enjoy!
