As summer approaches and the festival season gets going, we bring you a great interview with UK ukulele scene veterans Dead Mans Uke, who have plenty of tales to tell. We also feature another top live act, Mother Ukers, and talk to Jonty Bankes from the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.

Issue 10 of UKE Magazine, the UK's dedicated, printed magazine for ukulele players has plenty of other interesting features too. We talk to James Millar, photographer to the ukulele stars, give you a guide to the Czech Ukulele Festival and hear from Parbulele organisers on their plans for the summer.

In terms of advice and guidance, George and Mandi from Opera-lele hand over their vocal tips, Phil Doleman delivers another tune to try and we look at good and bad uke advice and where to find it. There is an exercise in songwriting too!

We also have a beginner's guide to bass, handy for the 5 bass ukuleles we review! We also look in detail at the new Magic Fluke tenor banjolele from the USA.

All of this plus new and regular features like The Ukulele Movement, Club Scene, letters, Uke News, the DUKE Banjolele kickstarter project, and lots more!
