Ukulele Union of Boston

**DATE CHANGE** Due to a scheduling conflict at the library our December meetup has been moved to Tuesday, December 16th. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Good citizens of Strummerville, that's you!
Grab your uke and join us as we sing and strum the hits!
Come one, come all! All levels welcome!
Check us out. (See what we did there?)

We love playing popular songs badly and singing loudly.

As heard on WBUR: [https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/12/12/strummerville-ukulele-club-brookline-somerville](Listen to the Strummerville feature on WBUR)

If you don't have a uke, the library has plenty to loan. A music stand would be helpful if you have one.

**What's better than one Strummerville meeting a month? That's right, two Strummerville meetings a month! You can also join Strummerville every 4th Wednesday at the Armory Cafe in Somerville! Same fun songs, same fun leaders**

What to expect on Tuesdays: Doors open at 6:00pm. Regular festivities start at 6:30pm. The first 45 minutes or so we'll play and sing songs from our well-loved songbooks. We then take a 15 minute break and back to it until 8:30pm.

And remember "What we're doing tonight has no value!”

Directions: The Brookline Village Library is located on Washington Street in Brookline Village near the intersection of Washington, School, and Cypress Streets. It is on a little hill next to the Town Hall, across the street from the Courthouse and Public Safety building (Police/Fire Headquarters).
From the West: Route 9 heading toward Boston. Turn left at Cypress St. At third traffic signal, turn right onto Washington Street. The Library is immediately on the left.
From the East (Boston): Take Huntington Avenue (Route 9) outbound to Washington Street. Turn right onto Washington Street and get into the left lane. At the fork where Harvard Street meets Washington Street, bear left to stay on Washington Street. The Library is almost two blocks farther on your right.
Parking: Metered parking is available along Washington Street and Cypress Street. A small underground parking garage is accessible from the driveway between the Library and Town Hall; bear left at the bottom of the driveway.
Accessible parking is available in the curved driveway in front of the Library. Note that there is no accessible entrance directly to the Library from within the parking garage.

2nd and 4th Mondays, 7:00-8:30, 23 N. Main St., Cohasset.
We're a relaxed supportive group of people playing at all different levels. We’re here to make music together and have fun.

Everyone's welcome, from beginners to Alex Beds (you never know, he might fly across the Atlantic just to play with us). We also welcome people who play uke-friendly instruments like guitar, bass, etc., and people who want to sing or listen. We have half a dozen loaner ukes (soprano, concert, tenor sizes).

When your turn comes, you can lead a song, request someone else lead a song of your choice, or pass. We have binders of song sheets with uke chord diagrams for each song. (If you use a tablet, we have a Google Drive folder with the songsheets.) If you want to lead a song that’s not in our binder, please bring printed song sheets to share.

We play everything from rock/pop to jazz to Hawai’ian to trad/folk, with other genres thrown in for good measure. List of our current songs is here: https://cohassetukulele.org/contact/#song-list

We'll be holding meetings not on Zoom but at the new site: https://meet.dannouke.com. You'll need to register there ahead of time to take part in the Show-and-Tell (don't worry, it's easy!).

You do NOT need to RSVP here on Meetup. Just come on over to the new site. The video stream is hosted on the same site where the meetings are announced -- everything in one place, it's easy!
