What we’re about
Ukulele Friends is all about having fun while learning the ukulele and improving our playing skills. We welcome all skill levels from beginning to advanced and love sharing what we know about this fun little instrument. Playing the ukulele can relieve stress and bring communities together. It's also a pastime that is wholesome and appropriate for any age.
Check the Individual Meetup pages for the location we are meeting at. Most often we meet at Pilgrim United Church of Christ at 2020 Chestnut Ave in Carlsbad from 12:00 to 2:00 in the multipurpose room next to the courtyard. Come join us for some laughs, music, good friends, and sometimes we have cookies.

Today we will be practicing for our upcoming Bayshire - Carlsbad Assisted Living concert. The concert will be the afternoon of August 2.
The activities director at Bayshire said he would like us to play for their Happy Hour, which starts at 3pm. Hopefully a little libation will encourage the residents to sing a long with us and dance! We'll play for roughly an hour at Bayshire.
We will start setup at 2:00.
We will run through the selected songs at this Meetup to see how it goes. This will be a great opportunity to learn the setlist. If there's one you'd like to share with the group let us know and we'll include it too.
If I did not get your favorite song into the list message me here on meetup (Jim Elliott).
If you want to lead a particular song, please message me so I can note it on the list.
