UKE Magazine Issue 24 Competition & Survey
To be in with a chance of winning a Tangelwood electro concert ukulele, complete this form with your answers to our short survey on the future of UKE Magazine. Entries need to be completed by 1 February 2021, and your e-mail is required only for notification if you win, nothing else.
The questions in this survey are posed to find out what the best model is for the magazine going forward. I like the printed version and I like that subscriptions aren’t recurring - but as you look at other magazines, they mostly operate different models. So, I want to check that what I am doing is still relevant, or whether things could change to help the long term sustainability of the publication. Thanks for your thoughts!
UKE Magazine Issue 24 Online Content Will Be Added Here Soon
Now that UKE Magazine has been dispatched, you’ll find that issue’s competition entry form and the play through of the Bach piece here very soon.
