Blue Mountains Ukulele Festival 2025 – Register to perform with the Ukastle Ukestra

The Newcastle Ukulele Community makes a very significant contribution to the Blue Mountains Ukulele Festival, probably the largest of any community, outside of the Blue Mountains community themselves.

BMUF is on the weekend of 7th, 8th & 9th February 2025.

The Ukastle Ukestra are performing on Saturday 8 February at 4:30pm.  Ukestral Voices perform at 11am and there are perhaps another half dozen Newcastle-related ukulele groups performing throughout the day as well. Check that out at the 2025 Saturday Program.

We invite you to be a part of our ukestra performance which is always rather schmick and a lot of folk! Rehearsals will be recorded, so don’t let geography hold you back! Register your interest below.

Rehearsal Dates

We will have four rehearsals with a flat rehearsal fee of $25 (whether you are online or do 1 or all rehearsals). A lot will be at the Cricketers Arms Hotel, other
