Aaron Keim leading a workshop with Ver Players, St Albans Ukulele Group, May 2016. Something special, in an hour we learned Cluck Old Hen: the chords, instrumental parts, verse and chorus, all without referring to bits of paper!
Our impromptu version of ‘Kiss’ by Prince, at our April practise session. We’ll do a few more of his songs at our regular get-together at the Hare & Hounds on 8th May (see events top right).
The ‘clarinet boys’ great addition to our uke session this month, here comes their instrumental break in ‘Button up your overcoat’ at the Hare & Hounds. Thanks Colin & Dave!
