Bonus Practice for July 30th

We are going to have a bonus practice meeting on Tuesday July 30th at the regular time and place. We will be preparing for the upcoming Venice BBQ performance, so Star Spangled Banner, Eleanor Rigby, and 76 Trombones will be on the agenda. We will probably play a few other songs too, so hope you can all make it.

Another Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain Kickstarter Docu

Another documentry by Litmus films is on Kickstarter right now. This one is for the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain US tour. I participated in the last UOGB Down Under Tour project and was happy with the resulting DVD. They have until July 20 to reach their goal, so if you want to see this film made (they need money for editing and DVD production) go to their Kickstarter page and select a reward. Click here– The Ukes In America. Chances are, the only way you will be able to view it–if it is finished, is by getting the DVD. They will send you NTSC or PAL formated DVD, depending on your locale.

Tell your friends too. Time is running out, and lots of folks are distracted by vacation and summer actitives.

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is coming....

I know that many of us have tickets to see the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain this April. They will be at Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts April 7th, and at Campbell Hall, University of California, Santa Barbara on April 9th. I for one, will be bringing my autograph uke, and figure I should learn the audience participation piece Relentlessly in C. If you want to join in too, check out the link to the tabs, notes and audio clips click here. Should be fun!

Westside Ukulele Ensemble performs at Santa Monica YMCA

Another sucessful, fun filled perfomance featuring The Tennessee Waltz, Sukiyaki, and Ode to Joy. Thanks to all who made it out today. It was a lot of fun.
