The Dangerfield of Instruments?

A review of last weekend's festival in Nova Scotia:"

"It's not easy to love the ukulele. The instrument has a bad reputation, a tricky name to spell and very little street cred.

To make matters worse, record-breaking rains made the First International Ukulele Ceilidh in Liverpool last weekend nearly inaccessible to anyone travelling from Halifax."

Sounds like it was a great event, despite the weather... Link
