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

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

Hi folks, I’ve finally found time to start a beginners group.
I understand that the two regular groups move along a bit to fast for most beginners now and there is probably a need for this
So if I can get enough interest, I’ll run a beginners before the 6.30 group on Wednesday night
For those that pick it up quick they can just move across to one of the more advanced groups if they like and vice verse

So let everyone know. Share this groovy little picture about

Hi Folks, last night we had our 1st session at our new venue – The Old Church on the Hill

For those of you that may not have been there before TOCOTH is a community centre located in a beautiful old church building on Russell St Quarry Hill right at the top of the hill on the corner of Harkness St

There are lots of thing going on there including a community garden, play group and yoga.

They also host intimate concerts. If you haven’t experienced one of these you’ve been missing out.

Bendigo Blues & Roots festival have been hosting concerts there (not just at festival time)  for a few years now and recently Bendigo Folk Club has also become involved.
