More a library than a magazine, this compendium makes me remember that I am a mere newcomer compared to all of you really experienced ukers. Lots of happy memories and old friends to be celebrated here. Old ukulele players never really die, they just strum away in Fiddlers and Ukers Green.šŸ˜‰

Hi Debbie,

Many apologies for not replying sooner!

Please feel free to come along to a session at The Cumberland Arms. We meet from 6:00 – 8:00 on the first three Thursdays every month – there is a calendar to check dates here:

Calendar

This a set of “FAQ” and my answers, in response to other people who have got in touch before coming along for the first time.Ā  (Some of the information is repeated because it answers more than one question.)

There is also a pdf file version if you want to print the FAQ’s page:

Ukes4Fun Sessions FAQ

I hope this is helpful and look forward to seeing you!

Best wishes,
Lizzie

I came about your page while looking for ukelele groups in the area. Ive been trying to learn ukelele for few months now and was wondering if you are accepting a beginner in your group so I can learn along. Thanks.

hi John,

I’ve been playing 12 years and I still get it wrong :-)

Are there any Uke Clubs or Classes or tutors near where you live?

Otherwise, YouTube is your friend.

This is a good “starter” video on strumming by Dave Newton:

“All in Good Time Music” by Rhan Wilson is a good site for learning to focus on the rhythm rather than the “mechanics” of strumming and will help a lot:

I keep going wrong. Where is the best place to learn?
