Welcome to Ver Players!
Featured
Ver Players is open to all ukulele players, from beginners to expert!
Have a look at the events calendar on the right to find out when our next get together is…
We meet 7pm on the Second Sunday every month at The Hare & Hounds in St Albans.
We also have informal practise sessions normally in the back-room at The Courtyard Cafe on Hatfield Road. To join us, take a look at the membership page.
To get an idea of the songs we do take a look at the Gigs pages for videos of some of our performances.
Both events are free, though we will be collecting money for Open Door – St Albans Homeless Night Shelter

Tweeting like linnets
Singing “Calm after the storm” by The Common Linnets, in the Courtyard Cafe. Good practise – two songs in two hours!

St Albans most famous song
‘She’s not there’ is 50! The song was first played by Rod Argent to the rest of The Zombies on 29th April 1964 at the Market Hall, St Albans. It went on to reach No 12 in the UK singles charts, and became their biggest hit.
On Saturday 3rd May 2014, we marked this anniversary by playing the song, on around 20 ukuleles at the Courtyard Café on Hatfield Road, just a stones throw from The Blacksmith’s Arms where the The Zombies first met.
