Latest news

A big thanks you to everyone who showed interest in the Chorlton Good Neighbours gig. The most popular date was Sunday 2nd September. Good Neighbours have booked us in for that date. We have an half hour slot from 4.10pm to 4.40pm.....more details to follow.

We will be meeting as usual at the Lloyd on Thursday 29th March from 7.30pm.

We thought we would include some ukulele events that are taking place this year:
  • The new term of beginners, intermediate and advanced ukulele classes that many of our group go to start again on Wednesday 18th April at the Edge Theatre and Arts Centre. These classes are a great way to learn and improve your ukulele playing and are good fun.
  • The Grand Northern Ukulele Festival is on in Huddersfield. Weekend tickets for 12th to 13th May are still available. If you haven't been to a ukulele festival go to this! There are various workshops and lots of top notch ukulele acts as well as lots of ukuleles to buy [or just look at or envy).
  • The Uke Express 2nd to 4th November is leaving Pickering and steaming along the North York Moors heritage railway to Whitby. Return trips are £40 including songbook.
  • Christmas is certainly not on our radar at the moment but its worth mentioning the Big Christmas Ukulele Party at the Hilton Hotel in Blackpool on Saturday 8th December as it is a popular event. Save money by buying a day ticket and booking your own accommodation early. You might even get to stay in the Hilton where it is being held.

Hope you come and join us on Thursday.

Visit of Bolton Ukulele Group 11th January 2018

At our Uke evening last Thursday, 11th January 2018 we were joined by 7 members of Bolton Ukulele Group (BUG) who battled their way round the M60 to the Lloyds.

During January BUG are on tour visiting other Uke Groups in the area and we were delighted that we were selected as one of them.

It was a great evening of songs and laughs and, for lovers of whistles, even a few train inspired tunes!

You can enjoy some of the songs again on our YouTube videos courtesy of Karen (thanks Karen!)
