Calling record seekers. Want to help set a Guinness World Record? The only requirement is the ability to perform on a ukulele. Three summers ago, Strathmore started UkeFest to unite professionals, amateurs and beginners for one evening of strumming and song. With attendance surpassing expectations for the past two seasons, it has become a favorite with families.

After learning that the 2009 London Uke Festival captured the Guinness record for the most ukulele players performing in unison, Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer knew that the Strathmore audience could easily top it. The two-time Grammy winners and uke teachers set about planning an evening that is sure to draw and delight uke fans of all ages.
