The event, which was hosted with the help of a Launceston City Council small events grant, showcased ukulele themed bands from Tasmanian and across Australia including Don't Tell Bruce, The Ukes of Hazzard, Moonshine Whiskers & The Ragged Pony and AlfanAnt.
The event also featured workshops and an open mic segment where members of the audience had the chance to perform to the crowd.
Organiser Jackie Anifandis said more than half of the audience travelled from outside of Launceston to attend the event which is growing in popularity, and has firmly cemented itself on the Launceston events scene
