In another action packed issue of UKE Magazine, the UK's specialist magazine for ukulele players, we meet the Hedge Inspectors, aka Mike and Caroline Krabbers, to discuss songs and songwriting. And talk to Opera-lele as they emerge more and more onto the countries ukulele stages.

We take a look at the NAMM show for the latest in ukulele innovations, get behind the scenes of the world record ukulele playing attempt and wrap up warm at the Tropical Winter Ukulele Festival in Finland.

With competitions, reviews, interviews, songs to play and opinion features, there's plenty packed in to Issue 9!
