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.

Fresh off our performance at the New Boston Farmers' Market (photo above), it's time to start practicing for the October 4 Warner Ukulele Festival.
We'll play through some of our favorite songs in search of four or five for our 20-minute set. Plus, let's try one new song, Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club. If you're not familiar with this ear worm, I promise you'll be singing along -- at least to the chorus -- after just a few listens. Here's the four-chord tab, which is stored in the 2025 Songs folder.
Any other new-song suggestions? Please send me a note.
Beginners note: I'll get to this meeting a half hour early, at 5:30, for a quick tutorial on the basics.
