Del Rey and Adam Franklin
Del (USA) and Adam (UK) are old friends who often run workshops and perform together when Del is in the UK. They both play resonator guitar and ukulele, swapping instruments and lead vocals for different numbers.
Del has done two fantastic ukulele workshops for us before. The first time followed by a Ukulele Concert and the second time by a Ukulele + Guitar Concert. Del is well known as a blues guitarist in the USA. In the UK, we are more familiar with Del's ukulele workshops and performances.
Adam has not done a workshop or concert for us before. I attended Adam's "Hot Jazz Rhythm Picking"workshop at the Grand Northern Ukulele Festival and have been trying ever since then to get him up to Newcastle! He is an excellent and engaging tutor! Like Del, Adam's high reputation is due as much to his jazz and blues guitar performances as to his dazzling ukulele skills!
As Del has already done two ukulele workshops for us, and there have been requests for her to run a Guitar Workshop, Adam will run the Ukulele Workshop for us this time and Del will run the Guitar Workshop.
