Uke Workshop - New Minas, NS

So you wanna play ukulele? Manitoba Hal will teach you the basics of holding the instrument, strumming styles, tuning, chords and a practice method that will have you playing along with your favourite hits in no time. This method is proven to develop good playing skills and the ability to move forward quickly on this wonderful instrument.

Manitoba Hal has a passion for the blues and the ukulele. He blends traditional sounds with looping effects to create a one-man-band performance that is unique. Traditional blues songs are arranged in fresh and inventive ways and his witty stage banter entertains even the most jaded audiences. People often wonder at the sound he creates with the little Hawaiian guitar.

Manitoba Hal is an aNueNue sponsored artist who regularly leads instructional workshops on the ukulele and has been featured at the New York Ukulele Festival, Ukulele Ceilidh, Great Canadian Ukulele Expo, the Ukulele Hall of Fame and in The Mighty Uke documentary.

He is one of a handful of authentic blues artists performing with the ukulele today.
