Hi all, thanks for another fun year of meeting up and playing. Beth and I hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have. We’ve had the 10th anniversary do, another Fight Against Blindness charity concert, outdoor gigs and other fun performances. Not to mention the epic A to Z trek through the repertoire. We very nearly played everything!

The Epsom WI concert was great fun, and they kindly gave us £150 which via Suzanne has been passed onto FAB who were very pleased!

Well done to everyone who played at the Manor Park Xmas light switch on. It was a nice event and I thought we did well in not the easiest of circumstances!

Tim has let me know that The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain are performing at seven thirty on Saturday, 10th January at Dorking Halls if anyone is interested in seeing them. I know a few people who have been before and they all say it is a fun night.

Here are the 2026 dates for the first quarter –

January – 13, 27

February – 10, 24

March – 10, 24

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you in 2026!

Chris and Beth

Hi all, A few bits of gig info and the final session’s set……..

The Epsom WI Christmas gig went well, well done everyone. There are a couple of pics at the bottom of the post. We also got paid! We will have a chat at the next session about where to donate the money…..

Regarding the concert on Sunday –

All the info given in the post below this one (Nov26) still applies so scroll down to that. Also –

The organiser has confirmed we should turn up for 4 30pm although you are welcome to arrive earlier if you are interested in the event/market/food. We will start at 5 15, play until 5.50, they will turn on the lights and then we will play for another 15 mins or so. Don’t be suprised if those timings become flexible.

They have asked if we can possibly play for a bit longer, suggesting we could do non-xmas tunes. So please bring – Cecilia (with Kazoo), Dedicated Follower Of Fashion, Delilah, Five Hundred Miles, See You Later Alligator. We probably won’t need them all! Other than that the set will be the same as WI Epsom gig.

Apparently you might be able to park in Manor Park Car Park. Malden Manor station is close too so that might be an option. If not try the surrounding streets. Might be worth a google!

Plough Green, Church Lane, Worcester Park, KT4 7RD

We need lots of us there to carry the sound outdoors, so please come if you can!

Here is the set for the 9/12/25 –

A couple of left over Christmas tunes…..Blue Christmas, I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day

And then what is left of the alphabet plus a couple we missed (although we may not do all of them….)

We Have all the Time in the World, What A Wonderful World (Armstrong), Wild Horses, Yakety Yak, Yellow, You Can’t Hurry Love, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Women, You Really Got A Hold On Me, You Wear It Well, Your Cheatin’ Heart, You’re Are My Best Friend, You’re So Vain, You’re The One That I Want, You’ve Got A Friend
