Duke of Uke Presents Jake Rodgrigues 'Cream of Tartar Show' + Rita Braga
Jake Rodrigues 'The Cream of Tartar Show'
A musical performance piece unlike another you are ever likely to experience. Part performance, part ukulele workshop, Jake Rodrigues will guide you through a musical maze of mystery!
Jake has combined his talents as songwriter and ukulele teacher to create a tremendously entertaining, interactive ukulele performance.
Get the chance to learn the songs during the show, with basic Ukulele chords for beginners and sizzling riffs for session cats! Non musicians welcome and essential, for creating special effects with an assortment of percussion and props.
Once you have played Jake’s classics, ’Spaghetti Bolognese', 'Death by Karaoke' and the enigmatic ‘Cream of Tartare’ (across between Mull of Kintyre & Bohemian Rhapsody about baking) it is very unlikely you will ever be the same again!
Rita Braga
Opening the night, Rita Braga brings her colourful performances to Duke of Uke for the first time. Sophisticated and playful in the same breath, Rita's charming delivery and compelling songwriting is truly irresistable.
"Her world is one of colours, exuding both the charm of a vintage cartoon character merrily bouncing along and the ominous melancholy of a lost kitten."
“Accompanying herself on ukulele, harp, cheap analog synths, and rhythm machines, Rita’s minimal compositions provide a weird peek inside her mind and her love of old cartoons and movies."
