here's some feedback about THE 2010 TAMPA BAY UKULELE GETAWAY
Thank you once again for having us as a part of your festival. We appreciated your hospitality and the smooth running of the show. I hope you heard as many favorable reviews as we did. The luau band was really excellent and that party was a very nice way to wrap up the event.
- Kathy and Marv Reitz (performers) I wanted to thank you for draggin’ me down to Tampa. It was a fun weekend…for many reasons. Maybe it was just because I haven’t been to a Uke fest in a couple years, really, so it was nice. But I think it was more the fact that you ran it so well, everyone stayed around all weekend. - Craig Robertson (performer) You and your Tampa Bay folks pulled out all the stops and put on a fantastic ukulele festival! Thanks for all the many hours that I know you all put into making that happen. The luau was a delicious ending for the festival, both the food and the entertainment! Thanks again for a ukulele festival you can be proud of. - Joan Shepard (attendee) I was an amazing line up of workshops and events. I learned a lot, met new and old friends, sang, played and had fun. I'm exhausted! - Lynn Olsen (attendee) An awesome time was had. I loved the workshop arrangement, great performers and the intimate set-up at Lake Tarpon Resort. Great Luau too! - Steve Boros (attendee) Wow! I had a wonderful day. What a great bunch of people, and a lot of fun! Thanks - Billy Sage (vendor) Great fun and talent every where you turned your head! - Gary Sintes (attendee) An awesome time was had. I loved the workshop arrangement, great performers and the intimate set-up at Lake Tarpon Resort. Great Luau too! - Steve Boros (attendee) |
This event was well planned, well organized, well executed, and it seemed to me well attended. It was a really excellent first-ever Uke Getaway for Tampa Bay, and I hope a precedent for more in the future. The workshops were good, the talent was inspiring and the vendors had everything I wanted. The only complaint is that I did not win any of the raffles!
- Bill Isreal (attendee) How exciting! The first evening of the first year of this event and it was a packed house. What a thrill. The entertainment was more than superb, the goody bags were a nice addition and I think having vendors was an extra bonus - Marlene Dusz (attendee) This was a well-organized, informative and--most of all-fun uke fest. The line-up of talent was spectacular, the crowd friendly, the volunteer staff helpful and the facility welcoming. - Dona Gibbs (attendee) It was well organized and the venue was perfect. It was awesome to see everyone enjoying themselves - Typhoon Olopai (founder of the Florida Ukulele Network) I wanted to tell you how fantastic the Tampa Bay Ukulele Getaway was last weekend. I learned so much and had a fantastic time - Susan Rife (attendee) You guys did a great job with the event. My guess is that it will become a major event in the ukulele world. - Mickey Maguire (publisher of Ukulele Player magazine) Steve and his crew did a great job of putting on a fun festival! - Noel Tardy (Owner of UkeLady Music) The Tampa Bay Ukulele Getaway is now a major event on the uke circuit. We had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back next year. Once again, you and your crew of volunteers, the staff at the resort and vendors did a fabulous job. - John and Ellen Monten (attendees) |
