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:

Ver Players is open to all ukulele players, from beginners to expert!
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.
Evening sessions (open to all) are usually 2nd Sunday each month at Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, St Albans from 7pm.
Saturday morning practise sessions are at the Clarence Park Bandstand in the summer, or at a local barn or church hall over the winter…
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 occasionally run ukulele workshops and can provide one-to-one teaching. To join us, take a look at the membership page.
