Two acclaimed duos from the UK and Hungary showcase Ortega's TourPlayer range with performances, interactive demos, hands-on advice & a Q&A

ABOUT THE EVENT

We are excited to welcome back Ortega Guitars (https://ortegaguitars.com/en/home) for an evening of entertainment full of performances, insights, inspiration and laughs, featuring four of their incredible artists from the UK and Hungary, Tim and Jake Smithies who perform as Dead Mans Uke, Tom Kontor and Gábor 'Biga' Heincz. Check out their videos below!

This is as much an interactive workshop as it is a gig: this is your chance not only to hear these fantastic musicians but also to talk to them about their sounds, techniques and approaches to music, and get inspiration for your own writing and performing — or even advice on getting started.

Accessible to musicians of all levels, as well as anyone who just wants to hear some great music, this event is also a fantastic opportunity to benefit from the expertise of Ortega's own staff and take advantage of exclusive deals on their TourPlayer guitars and ukuleles. There'll even be some giveaways too!

DEAD MANS UKE
