Nantwich N'Ukes ukulele group

N’Ukefest in Wrenbury near Nantwich is set to be a big pull next month for ukulele fans across the UK.

The annual event has grown due to demand, and this year will be staged at The Cotton Arms over three days May 16 -18.

Organisers have lined up scores of acts and are expecting several hundred people to attend, with camping available on site.

There is no charge to attend and funds raised will go to Macmillan Cancer Support and The Wingate Centre, Wrenbury.

Spokesman Barry Maz said: “It has really become something big now, and we are expecting hundreds of people.

“We have about 60 acts playing, including an evening concert with some of the UK’s biggest performers.

“Most of all, though, it’s all for charity in aid of Macmillan and the Wingate Centre at Wrenbury.”

The highlight of the weekend is bringing uke players together to perform on the open mic stage on both Saturday and Sunday.

Some of the top performers due to play include The N’Ukes, Chonkinfeckle, Krabbers, Dead Mans Uke, Ooty and the Cloud, and Phil Doleman.
