WELCOME to Ukulele Central coming to you from Australia's ukulele capital Newcastle, home to a huge, unified community of ukulele and u-bass players.
NEWS: After the 2022 Newcastle Ukulele Festival on September 9 - 11, Ukulele Central will close and Danielle will concentrate on her Patreon U-bass page. Thank you to everyone who has visited, purchased resources and engaged with this site since it was established in 2013.
Make sure you download any of the free resources you'd like before then, or purchase any of the Uke products. UBASSics will be available at some stage on Patreon, and there will be a UBASSics express course beginning there in coming weeks.
