Moving into its 8th year of publication, Issue 30 of UKE Magazine continues to provide tips, advice and learning materials for ukulele players all over the world. Available here in printed format, there’s 60 beautifully designed colour pages packed with features to interest uke aficionados.

In this edition we speak to Abe Lagrimas Jr., who talks about his successful ukulele career and shares tips he has picked up along the way - including how also being a successful percussionist has improved his playing. Taiwan’s David Chen is also featured, bringing a fresh slant on helping your play to improve from the Asian ukulele scene.

Mike Haysom returns with his theory series, this time looking at swing/shuffle and the concept of triplets, while we also have a feature where reader questions are answered by experts in the field - covering everything from the sounds different tonewoods make to how to change a song’s key from major to minor. These are just some of the many features that focus on helping readers to improve their own playing.

Those interested in the latest exciting ukes aren’t neglected either, with comprehensive reviews on offer, plus there are tunes to try at home and advice on improving club sessions from Dublin Ukulele Collective. We’ll also be inviting readers to vote on the best ukuleles they experienced in various categories in the UKE Magazine Awards.
