- The Melbourne Ukulele Kollective
-
M.U.K., the Melbourne Ukulele Kollective was formed in March 2004 by Dean 'Dino Divo' Denham to provide a vehicle for the large number of ukulele players that reside in Melbourne, both amateur and professional, to perform and exchange ukulele related information, tunes, etc. They are also involved in establishing links with schools and community groups as well as conducting ukulele workshops in both playing and making of ukuleles. The Kollective holds monthly “Open MUK” gigs, at which uke’ers can get up and have a play, swap tunes, and meet others.
