    What a great idea! Just emailed the Darlington & Stockton club for more info.

  2. David March 11th, 2010 7:44 am

    Great list! But none in Glasgow… :(

    Do any Glaswegians want to add a blue paddle on that map where Glasgow is?

  3. Nornb March 11th, 2010 8:26 am

    Any Aberdeen City or Shire Ukulele player/puddlers interested in meeting up sometime?

  4. Pete Shurmer March 11th, 2010 8:34 am

    Am I the only one in North Wales who plays the uke?

  5. Woodshed March 11th, 2010 7:23 pm

    byjimini: Have a great time.

    David: I’m sure GUGUG would join in. Good luck with it.

    Nornb: Good luck with your quest.

    Pete: I’m sure there must be others. Hope you find them.

  6. Tony Boland March 12th, 2010 2:19 pm

    Hi Al,
    Great comprehensive list of clubs and thanks for including us (UkuHooley/Ukeireland).
    Really like the “New Look” of the site-quite groovey!
    Regards,
    Tony

  7. Aimee March 14th, 2010 6:53 pm

    Boo. Nothing in Plymouth :( There never is!

  8. Kristoff March 16th, 2010 1:10 pm

    Hi there, it’s Kris from Preston Ukulele Strummers Society.

    Just a request, could you possibly update our listing, as we no longer meet at The New Continental, and have found our new home at The Angel Hotel, Lune Street, Preston.

    Just to confirm…

    Preston Ukulele Strummers Society
    Every other Monday
    The Angel Hotel
    Lune Street
    Preston
    PR1 2NN

    We meet in the room upstairs.

    Facebook page can be found here

    Hope to see you along

  12. Mark March 24th, 2010 6:53 pm

    Hey David, I’m a uke player in Glasgow (West End). We could start a band?!

  13. Lizzie March 26th, 2010 11:35 am

    Brilliant work! Many thanks to Claudine for all the hard work.

    UkesForFun has got a proper website for the club now (well, getting there).

    To make it easy for the forgetful, ie. me, either of these urls will get there:

    http://www.ukes4fun.org.uk and http://www.ukesforfun.org.uk

    There are plenty of ukes – from the staggeringly accomplished to people who wander in having never played any instrument before and get handed a spare uke.

    We are open-minded about other instruments too. Lately we have had up to three bass-guitar players join us (two acoustic and one electric) with the occasional violinist/fiddler or mandolin player, and the lovely Stella has promised to bring her sax along soon too!

    My only gripe is that my dog sings better than me – she is supposed to be operating the Waggometer but she gets a bit carried away sometimes.

    Many thanks again for the wonderful website and all the helpful stuff you send out,

    Lizzie

  15. Woodshed May 3rd, 2010 2:19 pm

    Simon: Excellent work. Hope it goes well.

  16. Tess June 18th, 2010 12:15 am
