What we’re about
The Contookuleles is New Hampshire's newest ukulele meetup group. We are a fast-growing group of experienced players and beginners. We are all about learning, socializing, making music and, most of all, having fun!
New members are always welcome. We meet in the Community Room at the Hopkinton Town Library on the first and third Tuesday of every month from 6-8 p.m.

We'll continue to rehearse for our Aug. 9 gig at the New Boston Farmers Market. I've narrowed the song list to the below songs from the 2025 Songs and Repertoire Songs folders. (Please don't worry if you can only play/sing some of them.) I don't know how many songs we'll have time for at the Farmers Market, but I doubt we'll have time for all of these. We can pick and choose at the event.
