Uttoxeter & District

Ukulele

The Ukulele group meet every Thursday at Wilfred House 2.15 to 3.45. Alternate weeks we have a development class, the aim of which is to provide more support to all types of player from beginner onwards. The other week is more ad hoc, to provide opportunity for one to one instruction and also for more advanced members to be experimental.

The Ukulele Group recently played for St Mary’s Mount ‘Mad Hatter Tea Party’ earlier this month. In addition we have played for St Mary’s Mount Daycare Centre, The Hermitage Residential Home, Kirk House Care Home as well as Sudbury WI over the last few months.

Ukulele Performance Group rehearsals start again on Thursday 5th September, and our first public performance will be at Denstone Show on Saturday 7th September where the theme of the show is 'All Creatures Great and Small'. We will be continuing our performances for elderly groups with events at Mellor House later in September and Doveridge in November.
We are also doing a performance in aid of the Denstone Village Hall Fund on Saturday 12th October.

When we commence our regular sessions on Thursday 5th September we will also begin work on new material suitable for Care Homes so that we can continue to try and entertain the residents during the autumn and winter.

The group is open to all - No previous experience required! We also have a couple of instruments spare for people to try before committing themselves.
