All You Need Is LOVE, a ukulele and The Beatles!
Join us on a musical mystery tour, 60 years on from the height of Beatlemania, as Ver Players reimagine the Fab Four’s legendary songbook – from Penny Lane to Abbey Road.
Following last year’s sell-out performance of the Pink Floyd-themed “Dark Side of the Uke”, Ver Players come together again with a specially created show: an evening of Beatles magic – with all songs performed on George’s favourite instrument, the ukulele.
Proceeds from the performance will be donated to St Leonard’s Church Flamstead and Nordoff and Robbins; the UK’s largest music therapy charity. Through the power of music, it breaks through the barriers caused by life-limiting illness, disability and social isolation.

A reimagining of Pink Floyd’s classic album, 50 years on!
Over the past 10 years they have celebrated a number of musical anniversaries, with joyous performances of The Sound of Music, VE Day, Bridge Over Troubled Water and the Beatles’ Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Now, with Dark Side of the Uke, Ver Players turn their attention to Pink Floyd’s seminal concept album, the Dark Side of the Moon, released 50 years ago this year. It promises to be a tribute performance like no other, conjuring the sounds of care-free summer days and mixing joyous celebration with surprising pathos. In short: the full range of emotion that only the ukulele can evoke, performed in the beautiful setting of:

We’re delighted that Peter Luongo is visiting us on May 14th. We saw him in action last year and he’s got to be the best teacher of performing on the uke around, and he’s spent his career at the amazing Langley School in Canada teaching the likes of James Hill.
Peter writes: “My aim is to have the group play 2 or 3 arrangements that I’ll put together with them by the end of the session. I’ll be demonstrating vocal, instrumental, and picking techniques throughout…”
