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

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 haven’t seen the movie ‘Yesterday’ yet but I’m looking forward to seeing it

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

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, 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
