Hi folks, it’s been a long time between drinks
I hope you are all doing well. Maybe picking up your ukuleles occasionally
It’s not time for our kind of gathering yet but maybe it won’t be too long
In the meantime if anyone is interested in some private tuition I have some free time up my sleeve. Even small groups of 2-3 is a possibility
give me a call 0409 551 980 or
email petegav@gmail.com
Hi folks, I hope you are all staying safe. To try and give the spirits a bit of a lift, I’ve been making some bite sized videos. Check them out. While you are there please subscribe to my youtube and give the vids a bit of a share on your social medias. It could be really helpful. Cheers, Pete
Hi folks, I’ve made the difficult decision to defer the remainder of this terms ukulele mayhem until school goes back after Easter

Love to all, stay well and I look forward to seeing you all soon

Hi folks, I haven’t seen the movie ‘Yesterday’ yet but I’m looking forward to seeing it
Anyway it has inspired me to begin arranging a bunch of Beatles songs for next term
see you all soon. Pete
Hi folks, just a friendly reminder that uke starts back this Wednesday
Slightly different this year, in that block payment will follow the school terms. I think this might be better for those who have school aged children
The cost is basically the same except that 1st term only has 9wks. Which means for those who pay by the term, it will be $90 for the 1st term
Still $15 per session casual
I am running a beginners group for the month of Feb. Tuesday nights (see previous post) If anyone that is already paying by the term who feels that they might get something from the beginners group, you are welcome to come Tuesday nights at no extra cost
Look forward to seeing you all again. Pete
New beginner group starting in February. kicking off 6pm on Tuesday 5th and continuing for the next 3 Tuesdays
market starts at 10am. Try and get there by 10.30 for an 11 o’clock start
Rosita asked me to pass on the message that any donations of cakes etc would be greatly appreciated and can be dropped of on Friday. I was supposed to tell you last night and I forgot
I also didn’t really get around to telling you how much fun i had with you folks this past year. Thank you so much for your continued support. I look forward to what new musical adventures we might have next year. Pete
Hi Folks, Bradley got some video and pics from Maldon Folk Festival. Check it out…….and maybe subscribe to his YouTube channel
Great practice tonight….if there is anyone who wants to camp that I don’t already have down as camping. Please let me know and I’ll see what i can do. Same goes for partner tickets. We don’t always get them but send me names and I’ll see what I can do. People do not need tickets to see us perform as everything in the streets is free
Our 1st performance will be 9.30am Saturday beginning at the market (venue 9) see map

Hi Folks, Mark Jackson is holding Beginners workshop this Saturday. Here’s what he has to say for himself
Hey Bendigo friends. Would you kindly share this event? I’m running a Beginners Ukulele Workshop next Saturday at Muso’s Stuff – Bendigo. I’m coming down from Newcastle for Laurie‘s 60th. Looking forward to hanging at The Good Loaf Sourdough Bakery & Cafe. Thanks to Peter for helping to coordinate things (and for this piccie from donkey’s years ago – look closely in the middle, underneath the pink ukulele).
I’m still on about community. It’s what I learned most about living in Bendigo. The uke is such a superb way to create and sustain community. It’s all about the music and coming together to enjoy making it.
…and here’s the link to the event… https://www.facebook.com/events/2192672977618615/
3.30pm if you know anyone who wants to go to the Blues Uke workshop and 7pm Alawishus Jones & the Outright Lies at the Guildford pub
Hi Folks, I’m conducting a blues uke workshop at the Guildford pub in August. It aimed at beginners(that can play a few chords) to intermediate

Thanks Pete
