Tomorrow I have my first Uke lesson-teacher in Cardiff does an introductory package of 5 lessons for £50-the object to get 'you strumming' and then carry on from there.
I've also found Uke nights in a pub on Mon eves,so I'll give that a go ::bigsmile:

Mike.

That sounds like a good plan! The world would be a better place if everyone played uke ::bigsmile:

Feel free to lift as much music as you want from our website:

Come over to Bridgnorth on a Wednesday night & we'll show you how ::bigsmile:

Playing uke is a very sociable hobby and the best way any of you can learn is to find a local ukulele group - you will be amazed how many there are around the country.

Here's a link to a list of UK clubs:

I'm sure I will take you up on the offer at some point. At the moment I'm struggling to get my fingers into position to create the chords as required. I think it's something I have to train myself to do rather than anything that can be taught. However as I make progress I look forward to popping over to see you.
Thank you for the invitation.
