Gig Schedule and Updates

We just have private and corporate bookings so far this season,

but hope to see you in 2009 at some public appearances.

Great to see you all last year at Stamford Guitar Festival, and at The Royal Festival Hall

and at the 21st Bude Jazz Festival and the other public events we played at.

Be sure to check out Martin's solo CD "All Day Breakfast", featuring The Hula Bluebirds.

The Hula Bluebirds can also be found on "Treasury of Hawaiian Music"

2 CD set from Cumquat Records www.cumquatrecords.co.uk

and of course "Stowaway's in Paradise"


The Hula Bluebirds consist of fretboard wizard Martin Wheatley on steel guitar, yodeling supremo Jake Rodrigues on guitar and lead vocals and magician David Crofts on ukulele. For the past decade they have been creating the sounds of hot Hawaiian music from the 30's and 40's whilst injecting it with their own charm and personality, a classic Hawaiian trio with an authentic sound.  They have played at numerous jazz and guitar festivals over the country and beyond as well as at an eclectic list of private functions and corporate events. In 2002 they teamed up with Lei Aloha, the UK's most authentic Polynesian dancers, now making the Hula Bluebirds' show a truly visual experience. Please email for booking information and enquiries.
