Most years the Newcastle ukulele community heads down to the festival held by our just-south-of-us-cousins. This year they are at The Entrance Diggers Club.

The festival is over the weekend of 12-14 September 2025.

The Ukastle Ukestra are performing at 12:30pm on Sunday 14 September

Are you interested in performing with us at the Central Coast Ukulele Festival as part of a large Ukastle Ukestra performance?

Proposed Repertoire

Jane and Mark have largely settled on this list and set list order. We still need to see how some songs shape up in rehearsal. We have great singers, but some of the songs need to improve rhythm wise.

1. River deep Mountain High
2. Here comes the rain again Here-Comes-the-Rain-Again-more-riffs.pdf
3. I can’t make you love me
4. Stick season
5. Space oddity
