This is crazy and really distracting, but fabulous. I’ve started the video at the rare bit in the song where the melody (which is very simple), is played. It’s such a great video and performance to watch, but some may find it boring. Notice how he ‘sings’ his improvisational idea. Notice the all white audience!

Payment

Most Zookestrans and Ukestrans pay through the very affordable ‘Uketen’. If you are already on that system, then you can just click straight onto the Zoom link. Book in anytime now and get there early on the day so you can chat with others before we start at 7pm.

Details on the uketen (for Australians) are here. If you are Australian but don’t yet want to commit to a uketen, you can pay a casual fee of $18 via Direct Deposit. Bank details are here.

International Zookestrans are asked to go to this page to organise payment (through Stripe).
