Welcome to Ver Players!
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…
Ver Players is a community ukulele group based in St Albans. Founded in 2012, the group has grown to around eighty members of all ages, who meet once a fortnight to sing, play and unleash their inner creativity. The group alternates between small, focused practise sessions in The Barn, Cell Barnes Lane, or at the Bandstand in Clarence Park and larger old-fashioned singalongs in The Fighting Cocks, a local pub open to all. It’s a fantastic opportunity for people to get together and experience live music.
Members typically join as complete beginners before quickly gaining confidence as they realise they can start to produce real music. The open, collaborative spirit ensures a fun and friendly atmosphere to learn, laugh – and ‘lose yourself in the ukulele’!
We also run a programme of ukelele workshops and can provide one-to-one teaching. To join us, take a look at the membership page.
Happy New Year 2015!
Happy Christmas!
Happy Christmas everyone, we’ve had a fun time this year, and many thanks to all who’ve made our Ver Players Christmas performances go so well!

Super simple song
Uke practise tip No1
Know when to stop, especially if there’s someone else in earshot.
My first ukulele belonged to my grandfather, and still bore the scars from being thrown in the fire by his exasperated wife!
and the winner is…
Tweeting like linnets
Singing “Calm after the storm” by The Common Linnets, in the Courtyard Cafe. Good practise – two songs in two hours!
Dashboard hula
Charming hula girl, a must for every dashboard (hula men also available!)
