aloha andy! it will be 3 full nights (thurs, fri, sat nights) and 3 full days (fri, sat, sun days).
should be great, especially if at least one of those nights/days one stage can be dedicated to traditional Hawaiian mele and hula. if anyone has any connections to Hawaiian bands on the east coast, with a strong uke presence, please put me in touch with them or put them in touch with me. tia. |
