You can bring snacks/food to the venue and there is a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available from the bar at very reasonable prices.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How are the sessions conducted?
The songsheets are projected onto the wall so there is no need to bring your own songbook. For the first 20 minutes we usually play very easy songs which are suitable for beginners, and serve as a warm-up for more experienced players. Beginners, try to attend this part of the session, it's the most important bit for you! The next 40 minutes is usually devoted to learning new songs, according to the theme of week. We will then have a 10-minute break. The last 50 minutes is spent playing songs that participants pick from a list.

What if I don't know how to play the ukulele?
You're very welcome to attend and watch us and sing along! We also have spare ukuleles that you can try. Believe it or not, it only takes about 60 seconds to learn how to strum and follow our songsheets!

Can I use my own instruments instead? Generally, yes - provided you play softly and not overpower those beside you :) We have had a few uke bass players join us with great success.

cheers,
