Charlotte Pelgen is a full-time touring musician and singer from Germany, currently based in Leipzig. Fifteen years ago, she picked up her first ukulele and has since dedicated herself to the swing music of the 1920s to 1940s. Specialising in the techniques of early 20th-century players like Roy Smeck, Cliff Edwards, George Formby, and May Singhi Breen, she has also developed her own unique style along the way.

She has been teaching swing on the ukulele through private lessons and workshops all across Europe for over a decade.

Christopher Davis-Shannon is a four string evangelist, educator and composer based in London As at home on the stage as he is in the classroom Davis-Shannon has become a staple at ukulele festivals as both a performer as well as educator.
