Dear Uketeufel
Here is our latest update.

Happy New Year from Bosko & Honey!

We hope 2012 is off to a good start for you - there are only 51 weeks left until 2013!

Firstly, here is a video of how we spent our New Years Eve:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQHlPNFrQqU

This newsletter is to let you know what we\'ve got planned for 2012 so far.
Initially we were planning to tour the USA, but we decided to wait a little longer due to lack of finances. Maybe next year.
It\'s a shame but it also allows us to do more in Australia.

Here\'s the plan so far:

FEB 3/4 - The Blue Mountains Ukulele Festival, NSW We\'re really looking forward to returning to the Blue Mountains, and the festival is looking great. Here\'s a link to the festival facebook page with information about the performers and workshops:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Blue-Mountains-Ukulele-Festival/252471711935

MARCH 7 -  The Vanguard, Sydney, supporting BENNY CHONG.
We are over the moon to be supporting the legendary jazz ukulele player Benny Chong from Hawaii. And the Vanguard in Newtown is such a great venue - we were lucky enough to play there as part of the Melbourne Ukulele Festival Showcase Tour last year. This event is hosted by Cameron Murray of Kamuke Ukulele Magazine.
If you are in Sydney, don\'t miss the chance to see this genuine world-class musician.
Here is the facebook event listing:
http://www.facebook.com/events/147851931992783
You can buy tickets from the venue here:
http://www.thevanguard.com.au/shows/2012/03/07/benny-chong/10560

MARCH 8-11 - The Melbourne Ukulele Festival We\'ll be back! This year the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain are playing at the Arts Centre, with the rest of the festival at the one venue - The Trades Hall, which is really great news. Wonderful to have everything happening in one central place.
Visit MUF for all the info:
http://www.muf.org.au

MARCH 12-25 - Heading North Tour, with B&H and U.K.E from France For 2 weeks we\'ll be travelling from Melbourne to Brisbane by train, on tour with U.K.E from Paris, an amazing duo comprising of Lionel (the K.) Hubert on ukes and loops and Antoine (Josh) Ladoué on tablas and other percussion. Now that\'s gonna be fun!
You can see U.K.E\'s website here:
You can see videos and other great stuff from the K here:
http://thek.kalikay.com/The_K_official_site/videos.html
SO, if you are somewhere between Melbourne and Brisbane and you or your uke club would like to host a concert and workshops with Bosko & Honey and U.K.E, please contact us!

Well that\'s enough to keep us busy for now, but we\'ve also applied to perform at this years Cairns Ukulele Festival.
It\'s not too late to do so yourself, and performers can apply online via the festival website:
http://cairnsukulelefestival.net

Wishing you all the best!
Peace and Love,

Bosko & Honey

Dear Uketeufel
Here is our latest update.
Hello friends!

Here is some news and some links you might be interested in...

A new music video we just made using live footage from our \"Pretty Please Tour\" last year...
\"Tuck Me In\" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imnDOJjOG50

Our album \"Pretty Please\" is now available online as a download...
on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/album/pretty-please/id501489592
and CD Baby https://www.cdbaby.com//cd/boskohoney

This year we\'ll be opening an online store specialising in only the best quality Japanese ukuleles and accessories, shipped to you direct from Japan.
It\'s been a long process and we\'re still working on it, but we expect the website to go live within a few months.
In the meantime you can \"Like\" the store facebook page where we\'ll let you know how things are progressing...
http://www.facebook.com/UkuleleSafariStore

We\'re getting ready to go to Sydney for a gig with Cameron Murray of Australia\'s \"Kamuke\" Ukulele Magazine... supporting the legendary BENNY CHONG!
The latest exciting news is he\'ll be joined by Australian jazz guru Craig Scott on double bass...
http://www.thevanguard.com.au/shows/2012/03/07/benny-chong/10560

After that it\'s off to Melbourne for the 3rd Melbourne Ukulele Festival!
Some great acts this year including the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, Ralph Shaw, AJ Leonard, U.K.E., Tyrone and many, many more.
We\'re playing on the Saturday night...

Then... we embark on a tour we organised for U.K.E from France, a fabulous progressive uke/percussion duo led by Lionel \"the K\" Hubert.
Here\'s where we\'re going (by train from Melbourne to Brisbane)...
http://g.co/maps/s8r47
There\'s still a couple of gaps in our schedule, so if you\'d like to host a house concert or something in Sydney, central NSW or southern QLD on short notice, give us a shout!

In other news, if you\'re coming to this year\'s Cairns Ukulele Festival there\'s a fantastic BUILD YOUR OWN UKE course being run again by local luthier Allen McFarlen with Micheal Connor from NSW.
It\'s been sold-out 2 years running, so take a look at Allen\'s website for more info (tell him B&H sent you!)...
http://www.brguitars.com/class/

Also, our friend Pat from Western Australia is organising a Ukulele Retreat with the one and only KIMO HUSSEY from Hawaii.
It\'s an all-inclusive 3-day affair in Albany, and the wonderful Margaret River luthier and musician Scott Wise will be there too.
More details via Ukulele Perth...
http://ukuleleperth.com/

Upon returning home to Kuranda in late March we\'re gonna start editing the Ukulele Safari Oz videos again! Apologies to all who have been patiently waiting, but we\'ve been under a bit of financial pressure for a while, so it\'s been hard to set aside the time to edit.
Things are looking up, so you can expect a return to YouTube form soon!

That\'s all for now, and apologies to our non-Australian subscribers for the Oz-centric news!

Love,
B&H

Dear Uketeufel
Here is our latest update.

Hello everyone!
It\'s been a while since our last newsletter, so we thought we\'d let you know what\'s been happening...

First up, a couple of video links:

Here\'s a new music video featuring the fabulous AJ Leonard (Melbourne) and SETO (Japan) in a one-off art-band project called AJ\'s ASYLUM.
The song was written, performed live, recorded, shot and edited within 3 days and it\'s called \"Another Day In Paradise\"...
Pump up the volume!

Here\'s a complete half-hour performance by Bosko & Honey at the fabulous Blue Mountains Ukulele Festival earlier this year.
Thanks to Ray Gurney for the footage!

In other news, we\'ve been pretty busy performing recently, and you can always see what we\'ve been up to and what\'s coming up here on our website:
http://ukulelesafari.com/index.php?pid=11910
Notably we made our comedy debut recently at the Sit Down Comedy Club in Cairns as well as our \"roots\" debut at the Kuranda Roots Festival.
We\'ve also been hosting house concerts under our home in Kuranda in association Arthouse Cairns.
These concerts are called \"Underhouse Kuranda\", and the last one attracted over 50 lovely people who were treated to Japanese food and 8 acts from around the country.
We also played at this year\'s Cairns Ukulele Festival and hosted our second post-fest \"Ukulele BBQ\" at the beautiful Kuranda Amphitheatre which nestles in the rainforest up here.

One of the upcoming gigs we\'re very excited about is we\'ve been booked on the main stage for the Cairns Festival \"Carnival on Collins\" on the 2nd of September.
It\'s a day that attracts up to 40,000 people so it will definitely be our biggest audience yet!
Here\'s a link to the Cairns Festival website:

2012 was a pretty full year for us with lots of music locally and around the country.
We\'re looking forward to some more travel in 2013 as well as more local events, including the \"Underhouse\" series of house concerts we\'ve been hosting here in Kuranda.

Here\'s what\'s coming up so far...

Jan 25 - Feb 24
\"Viva La Uke\" New Zealand Summer Tour 2013 with The Nukes.
We\'re really excited to be touring with The Nukes, the fabulous ukulele and vocal trio from Auckland who we met at last year\'s Melbourne Ukulele Festival.
The 8-gig concert and workshop tour will be crisscrossing the North Island, and it will be our first time playing there.... we can\'t wait!
All the tour details are on The Nukes website http://www.thenukes.co.nz/gigs.html

March 1 - 3
The Melbourne Ukulele Festival (MUF)
Yes, we\'re playing MUF once more and this time we\'re looking forward to meeting Benny Chong and James Hill and Ann Davison again and can\'t wait to meet the Big Muffin Serious Band... long-time heros of ours from NZ.
It\'s gonna be a ripper!
All the info is here on the MUF website http://www.muf.org.au/site/

March 20
Underhouse #4
We\'l be hosting another house concert in Kuranda, this time featuring the legendary slide and experimental performer Mike Cooper from the UK who is based in Rome http://www.cooparia.com/ and the as-yet underexposed \"Polymantra\" from Cairns. We met this drums/guitar/samples/vocals duo last year at Arthouse Cairns and they blew  our minds with their slightly weird and very danceable grooves.

You can keep up with more News by following us on facebook https://www.facebook.com/UkuleleSafari or checking our Gigs page http://ukulelesafari.com/index.php?pid=11910


Increasingly we get the feeling we\'re living in the future, with the technologies of our life resembling the science fiction of our youth more and more every day!
May your 2013 be a happy, altruistic and naked one!

Love and Peace from Bosko & Honey.

Dear Uketeufel
Here is our latest update.

Hello from Bosko & Honey!

Recently we returned to the fabulous Pegasus Studios in Cairns to record the title track of our upcoming new album, \"The Universe Will Provide\".

It\'ll be released in November and most of the recording will be done over July and August.
It\'s our first full-length album, with at least 12 original songs, and we want to have a really good crack at it!
We\'ve decided to try Crowdfunding for the first time to help make it the best B&H recording to date.

So, you can hear the quality of the recordings in a sample of the title track in this promo video:
http://youtu.be/fhi1Lm3CdUg

And you can have a look at our Crowdfunding Campaign here:
http://pozible.com/universe

You can simply Pre-Order the digital album or the album on CD, but there are other \"rewards\" too - including \"Tuck Me In!\" T-Shirts and Skype ukulele lessons with Bosko for up to a year...

You can really help us by having a look at the project and sharing it with your friends.

Thank you very much, and as always...
Love and Peace,
Bosko & Honey
