CLASSIC EPISODE: Jane Jelbart and Mark Jackson

Ukulele Is The New Black

Hi listeners! Life is a bit frantic for me at the moment – I’ve sold my house and I’m desperately trying to buy a new one before I have to move out – a task which has proved more difficult and stressful than I’d anticipated. As a result I’ve struggled to find the time and headspace to record a new interview for you, so instead I’m bringing one back from the vault!

This episode is from my first season back in 2018 – a time when ukulele players could safely go to crowded festivals and hang out together. When I arranged this interview at the Central Coast Ukulele Festival I had no idea how influential my guests were. In the three years since, I have lost count of the number of times people I’ve interviewed have said how these two ukulele players had inspired and helped them – not just Australian players, but people from across the world.

Please enjoy this classic episode with Mark Jackson and Jane Jelbart.
