Love is All, Love is Uke

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.

Dark Side of the Uke

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:

St Leonard’s Flamstead, AL3 8BS

Uke concert raises £2500 for local charity

vp-jubillee-oct-2016
Ver Players recent annual charity concert has raised £2500 for Rennie Grove Hospice Care. It was a great night, everyone worked really hard to make it such a success both musically and as a fundraiser for the wonderful work Rennie Grove do. We would also like to thank local businesses who donated raffle prizes, and Fonthill House Care Home that made a very generous donation towards our fantastic £2500 total.
