Thank you SO much to those who came, for making that first Uke Lounge Workshop a fun one! If you didn’t make it. Feel free to have a crack at these songs, and I hope you’ll join us on Wednesday! There’s a bit for everyone, whether you’re just learning chords, want to practice your strumming, or picking, or singing. It’s all here. Want to come along this week?

Please book your place for Uke Lounge 2 here.

Want to see what happened in Uke Lounge 1? Here’s the audio. My version of Enjoy the Silence, and your version of Enjoy the Silence, if you’d like to play along? Here’s the (click to enlarge) song sheet:

Also, here’s my version of Country House. I didn’t record the guys playing it, but I’ll happily record that at Uke Lounge 2. Want to join us?

We (Andy, Lorraine and Nick) have been approached by lots of fellow ukers who want a chance to play in a context somewhere between a workshop and a jam session. Some brave folk are even eager to perform — in public! We know that workshops are great for continued practice and learning to play and sing together in some parts, and we all know how much fun a jam session at Ukulele Wednesdays can be; but we agree that it is time to take your feedback on board, and try something new.

We’ve secured space at The Prince of Wales Feathers and we’re really excited to pull this concept together. The idea is we enjoy a good meal then crack on into a session in which we’ll learn to both play and sing in parts, so we can perform a song as a group. Think the skill development of a workshop meets the fun group atmosphere of a jam night, with the goal of shaping a team of finely tuned musicians over 7 evenings of fun social dinners and a structured jam/boozy practice.

The details are below and we hope to see you there!
