day four.one

last night was busy. nearly 1,000 people saw the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain rock the cathedral ending in standing ovations and encore after encore.

Fuzzy, the RKDC tech manager, (thankfully) arrived in time for the show, having landed at Birmingham Airport from South Africa at about 5.30pm...
