Issue 24 of UKE Magazine is December 2020's edition of Europe's most popular magazine for ukulele players. A full colour, 60 page, beautifully designed and printed magazine packed with tutorials, advice, interviews and gear reviews.

In this issue we catch up again with Jake Shimabukuro on his new masterclass and the background to his phenomenal success as a ukulele performer. Another modern day uke legend, James Hill, talks about the changes to the music world with the global pandemic, and how it can spur creativity. We also talk to award winning folk musician and ukulele player Claire Hastings, who is based in Glasgow.

We continue our series of accessible ukulele music series articles, with a look at consonance and dissonance, as we build a picture of why what you play works (and why it doesn’t sound right when you get it wrong!) And we catch up with Aaron Keim, who describes the fascinating work that Tyde Music do with reclaimed wood in their ukulele builds.

There’s plenty of gear review too, with a range of new ukes going under the microscope, plus ukulele lessons, tabs to try and Marc Gallagher, who provides a rundown of ten songs that every ukulele player should try.

These are just some of the many features inside this packed issue of UKE Magazine, a UK based, independent publication with a global focus.
