| Venue | Coffee Bar at Wilfred House,Carter Street | |
| Time | Thursdays 2.15pm-3.45pm | Group 1 Ukulele and Group 2 Ukulele Development |
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 group is open to all - No previous experience required! We also have a couple of instruments spare for people to try before committing themselves.

Uttoxeter U3A Ukulele Group in the Community
The Ukulele group have now completed rehearsals for songs suitable for Care Homes, and performed their first concert at The Hermitage Residential Home on Friday 22nd March. Uttoxeter U3A have purchased tambourines, maracas and claves to ensure that residents can participate in the performance. The group will undertake further events at other Care Homes, if any U3A member has a friend or relative in a local Care Home who would like the Ukuleles to play for them please email Alan by clicking on the Blue Bird above
On Tuesday May 14th they performed for Uttoxeter Gateway Club who are a support organisation for adults 16 and over who have special needs. This will be our second performance for Gateway.
In July they will perform at Kirk House.
The group have also been asked to perform again to support the upkeep of Denstone Village Hall, following a very successful performance last Summer.
We have recorded and posted our first Youtube video which you can see by clicking on the link below
