The Wanganui Ukulele Orchestra had a change of leader last year when Colin Luttrell left to devote more time to skiffle band Hot Potato. Aydie Holland, who has been with the orchestra for seven years, says they were faced with a summer season without their key player. Colin s pursuit of fame and fortune with that band meant Aydie had to step up and learn new skills.
