Rainbow Ukes

A weekly community group for LGBTQ+ people in Glasgow to play ukulele together

Rainbow Ukes is an inclusive, welcoming, and fun group that meets weekly to learn to play the ukulele. For new members, we also offer a one-off introductory Getting to Know Uke information session or/and 8-week Beginners’ Block Course of lessons a few times per year to give you the foundation skills to feel confident in the group.

The group is led by Tim (volunteer group leader) and Sarah (Scotland Ukulele Project). We focus on learning a variety of songs together, and playing the songs we already have in our repertoire!

When: every Wednesday from 6.30pm to 8pm.
Where: Bonjour, 37-45 Saltmarket, Glasgow (City Centre), G1 5NA

The last meeting of 2022 will be on Wednesday 21st December, and the group will restart on Wednesday 11th January.

From St Enoch’s underground it’s a 12 minute walk. Glasgow Cross and Osborne Street bus stops are minutes away as well.

There is also a Next Bike Station directly across from Bonjour.
