Ukulele Union of Boston

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!

The New England Ukulele String Ensemble (NEUSE) is getting ready for the 2026 concert season. We have a great concert program planned. We are an instrumental ukulele ensemble. NEUSE is dedicated to promoting the ukulele as a versatile instrument and providing free concerts for the public. 5-part music with melody, harmony, baritone, guitar for bass and a chord/strumming line. We are 15 strong. NEUSE is always looking for new players. Reading and playing standard music notation is helpful but not an absolute requirement. Our chord line is easy and just right for new and even beginning players. We practice once a month at the Flint Public Library in Middleton. Extra help is always available for new players. Genres include classical, western, blues, country, folk and rock. The ukulele is very versatile, playing music similar to an orchestra. Come and join the group for great fun and explore the instrumental ukulele. Contact Art Munger, guit@hotmail.com, 978-478-7053.

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!

We love playing popular songs badly and singing loudly.

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.
