Working on the variety circuit at the time of Ernest Ka’ai’s second Australian show in 1926 was a young entertainer named Charles Wade, who learnt the basics of Hawaiian music and ukulele playing from the Kailis. Within a decade he had changed his name to Johnny and was Australia’s best known performer of Hawaiian material. He appears on around half the Hawaiian records recorded and released in Australia.
