Ukes4Fun Blog and Website
The blog posts are mostly updates about Ukes4Fun sessions and songbooks, news about other uke sessions in the area plus occasional forays into whimsy and info from the wider ukeniverse. (The most frequent blog posts are reminders about dates and times for the Sunday sessions, as these sessions are not every week. Unless they contain other information that does not go out of date, I delete these posts when they are out of date.)
You can find the most recent blog posts on the “home page” here: https://ukes4fun.org.uk/
There are navigation links to other pages, to important blog posts, to whole categories of posts and to external sites. They move around when the blog “theme” changes so it is best if I just say: look around and you will find them.
Other info about Ukes4Fun that was previously on this page has been moved to: Ukes4Fun Facts
There are contact details on this page: Ukes4Fun: Who-What-Where-When-Why?
Wondering who writes this stuff?

Hi, I just found my name on your website – I thought it was someone with the same name – but no that’s definitely me with a glass of wine playing in France. I might upload another as a toast to being the fifth!

Hi Giles! Yes! You are famous! :-)
Thank you for leaving your comment. YouTube must have been playing up when I found your videos and I couldn’t comment on them directly, so I left you a message in the “Discussion” bit on your Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp4St6tXzNB_gXjay7cPw4A/discussion
I think I might have sent you a private message via YouTube as well – the messaging system on YouTube is a bit of a mystery to me! I can never find my inbox!
I love the Tom Waits song “Ice Cream Man” – that was my first choice for a “summer song” but not many people seem to have done it on the uke. I think I might only have found your cover – anyway that’s how I stumbled on “Sunny” and decided to do a blog post about Sunny instead.
I have just subscribed to your YouTube Channel – so I might get a message from YouTube when you upload the next one. If you are ever in Newcastle, pop in and see us – sign a few autographs :-)

Hi Alf,
There is a list of most of the clubs and sessions in the area here, though nobody has reported anything in Sunderland so far, with a link to a spreadsheet with details for all those listed:

If you are on Facebook then you might be able to find some other ukes players in the Sunderland area by joining the UkersNorthEast Facebook Group:

I hope this is helpful and that you find somewhere not too far away to meet up with fellow ukulele-enthusiasts!
Best wishes,
Lizzie
