Ukulele Club

I had my first night of Ukulele Club last night.
It's held once a week in a town pub, about 15 minutes drive away.

I was so nervous walking in there, uke under my arm...
I have never done anything like this before... let alone in a new town... let alone by myself...

There was about nine of us in total, with some having been playing uke for a few years, while others since the start of the year- and one woman, just one month...
We mostly played songs from the clubs own song book... with most people singing along, (although they all insist they can't sing!).
At times it was reminiscent of playing recorder in primary school... when I would lose my place playing, as I was too busy smiling and listening to how incredible it all sounded!

I am excited to make it a regular thing, and see what happens...
Already I have begun, (I certainly won't say mastered!), singing and playing the uke- which I used to struggle with...

Here is a silly video of me practicing one of my songs!
