ABOUT UKULA:
The UKULA concept was brought together by 3 friends in Edinburgh. With a lack of legitimate independent media sources, and the rise of popular culture for all the wrong reasons, UKULA was born out of frustration and a need for something new. UKULA is founded upon several principles – sincerity, creativity and openness - but perhaps more importantly on genuine and real people. UKULA’s aim is to promote emerging and influential artists, talented people, and captivating experiences from all over the world, providing an independent global network for communication and exposure like no other.
However idealistic the UKULA concept may appear, the content will be realistic, opinionated, and at times perhaps harsh: diversity is welcome.
Who I'd like to meet: You. Your friends. Also: bands, photographers, writers, artists, designers et al.
Whoever you are, add us to your network to be kept up-to-date with info about the magazine, the boutique, the events, the website, or to be subject to our random demands for baked goods and chocolates.
