Don't forget that to get into Islington Folk Club you must submit your membership application no later than 31 December 2002 as the venue does not have a PEL.

Who has organised this band? are they British? Are they an offshoot of the ukelele organization that people like George Harrison used to be in?

Well, considering the Hawaii state flag has the Union Jack in its union, I'd say that's quite appropriate.   Wish I could be there....maybe once you hit the big time you'll be able to have a Hawaiian tour!

Aloha,
Mark
