Working from book two, open mic and discussion about up and coming events.

Tuesday 31st January.
First meeting of the new year and we shall start with a brand new song book featuring songs from 6 decades. Lisa and I have been hard at work compiling the book and hope to put it on here and the Facebook group this week.
We have started to get offers of gigs coming in and we can discuss that as well.

Tuesday 29th November

Practice for Saturday’s gig at Centre Stage and a look at some Christmas tunes.

The Ukes appear on stage with one ukulele each, no gimmicks, no tricks, no vocal enhancers or overproduced wizardry, then proceed to tear the house down. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll never think about music in the same way, once you’ve seen and heard the Ukulele Orchestra.

A concert by the Ukulele Orchestra is a funny, virtuosic, twanging, awesome, foot-stomping obituary of rock-n-roll and melodious light entertainment featuring only the “bonsai guitar” and a menagerie of voices in a collision of post-punk performance and toe-tapping oldies.

The Orchestra has seen over 9,000 days of ukulele action. It unites fans across the globe in celebration of ‘one plucking thing after another’on ‘instruments bought for loose change.’ They have sixteen-handedly turned the world on to the ukulele.

“Wonderfully clever” David Bowie
