Rob Nichols is an excellent guitarist who pestered his parents into buying him a cheap guitar and some lessons for his 12th birthday and went on to later play guitar on Lake Macquarie cruise boats and in local restaurants, while running a very successful electrical supply business.
When Rob and wife Yvonne took up the RV lifestyle in 2008, he began to strum a few songs around the campfire and found that many people expressed regret that they had never learned a musical instrument. So, he began to teach ukulele to some of his RV mates.
More and more grey nomads asked for lessons and Rob proved to be a good and patient teacher. Since then over 1000 people have learned to play the Ukulele at Rob’s workshops and he has been our resident uke and guitar teacher since 2014. Rob continues to play guitar and released an album of instrumental favourites, recorded at Grant’s Flying Fox Studios, at the 2017 festival.
