Hi guys
I bought my Mainland Banjo Ukulele in April this year and just love it to bits! I have 'played around' with it quite a bit, building up a list of songs from the net, but had not been playing it as regularly as I should ..... I trolled thru UU threads for some months before joining, gaining tips on playing & chords & then thought that if there was a regular 'gathering' of uke players in my town, it would benefit all of us - so after a small article was put into the local paper ....... we now have the The Forster Jumping Fleas Ukelele Band & here is our logo! Kinda cute, eh??
We had our first 'gathering' last Wed - 3 in the 'Beginners' section & 2 in the 'OK' section and have about 12 members signed up who may be able to attend, but not necessarily at the same time! So pretty happy with that! We will all benefit from this, I reckon.
We meet every Wednesday at a venue yet to be determined ....... it was at my place this week, with the beginners at lunchtime & the OKers at 4.30pm ..... but hope to find a club that will allow us to strum in the background somewhere soon!!
There is going to be a great Uke Concert/Workshop close to us on Sept 22nd, showcasing Boscoe & Honey & AJ Leonard - so most of us have signed up to attend & I can't wait! It will be my first Ukulele Concert/Workshop!
I am looking forward to becoming a better uke player ........ not much hope for my voice tho!
Cheers for now
