We are an all abilities, no audition ukulele group. We take time together to work on an arrangement of each of our songs to reflect our respective skills and confidence. During this process everyone is encouraged to pitch in ideas, suggest strumming patterns or riffs, anything that'll make the song distinctive.

Pop and Rock classics from the 1970s right up to the present day. Anything from Gloria Gaynor to George Ezra, The Cure to The Cranberries. Big hits, iconic tunes, absolute bangers, all killer, no filler. See our songbook page for further details.

No need for either a songbook or music stand. The venue we use is equipped with a big screen TV. The songs are screen-shared to the TV so no printed sheets or music stands are required for our weekly sessions.

Our sessions are held on Monday evenings at the Park Life Community Hub in Heavitree, Exeter from 7:15 for a 7:30 start; our find us page has directions and a map. Your first visit is free, after that it's just £3 per session on a PAYG basis. This small fee covers the hire of the venue and any running costs. Any surplus is retained for the benefit of the group as a whole.

NOTE • We are active throughout the year with regular one week breaks in early March, early May, late June, and mid September as well as the last few weeks of December. Please check through our calendar before visiting us for the first time.

We meet in a well-appointed, accessible, hired hall with good acoustics. We have the room to ourselves for the duration which suits the collaborative way we work on our songs. The PAYG weekly fee of £3 is (we think) very good value, maybe even less than the price of a couple of drinks in the pub!

Most certainly! Playing in a group setting is a great way to get to know your ukulele. We aren't teachers and our sessions aren't lessons, but everyone started somewhere and we'll be happy to help you out with encouragement and tips. Start with open strumming (no chords), attend regularly and you'll learn and improve without realising it. Many of our members have done or are doing just that!

We'd rather you didn't. Our Monday evening ukulele sessions are participation-only events. Besides, no ukulele is no barrier; come along and have a go with our loaner ukulele. Playing is a lot more fun than watching anyway, so why not have a go? You might surprise yourself.

NOTE • If you do decide to come along without a ukulele please email to let us know ahead of time so we can make sure the loaner ukulele will be available!

With the exception of our percussion section, everyone plays a ukulele and most of us sing. So why not come along to sing and start learning a new instrument at the same time? We'll show you a couple of beginner chords, provide a spare ukulele for you to borrow for the night and a chord sheet to take home and keep. The ukulele is such a fun instrument to play, you'll probably enjoy the session even more if you set yourself a challenge.

Yes, as long as they remain in their case for the duration of the session while you use our loaner ukulele and reflect upon the error of your ways! Sorry, joking aside we're strictly a "ukulele only" group, but with a variety of ukulele sizes available (soprano, concert, tenor and baritone) there's still some degree of choice.

If the guitar is your regular instrument and the thought of transitioning to the ukulele feels a little daunting, then consider trying a baritone ukulele. They're tuned DGBE and are a bit larger than a standard ukulele so it's broadly a small guitar with two missing strings!

Just like me, they long to be close to uke.
