Our West End ukulele group started late 2024 and like most U3a groups, it is primarily a “social” group. Playing the ukulele (sometimes badly) and singing along (sometimes more badly😱) is simply our Uke group members' common thread. 

We started mostly with novice players, but the ukulele is possibly the easiest instrument to learn to play - there is no need to be able to read “music”, and it is now the teaching instrument of choice in many primary schools - so progress was relatively quick. 

We have weekly sessions (Thursday 2 till 3.30), on an “attend when you can” basis (recognising the busy lives u3a members lead). 

We can loan a basic ukulele on a “try before you buy” basis to anyone interested in joining the group, although ukuleles are very much a low cost instrument with a basic ukulele “kit” costing as little as thirty pounds.
