Ukulele Master Kimo Hussey to Lead the First Cutie Circle Workshops, Concert (and Potluck!)

As many of you may know already, Kimo Hussey will be giving a five-day workshop, Aloha Ukulele, at Hollyhock on Cortes Island this summer. We are ecstatic and honoured that he has kindly accepted our invitation to conduct a workshop and give a house concert for us. Kimo is well-known around the world for his superb ukulele performance. He is a very patient and insightful teacher. (Watch Kimo’s instructional video series.)
