George says that there is room for up to 12 people to play at this gig, including George and other members of “Misspent Uke”, so there will be space for about six more.

There is no fixed time to go on stage but it will be sometime after 1:00

George says he is happy to meet up at the Stapylton Arms in Hawthorn at 12:30 and sort out then who is going to play if too many of us turn up.

So, if you fancy taking your chances – bring your uke

Sunday July 25th – Session at Holy Biscuit instead of Biscuit Factory

This will be a slightly more formal session as there will be an audience, George will be struttin’ his stuff and we will be the “backing band”

If you want to join in, please turn up about 12:30 so George so George knows numbers and seating can be sorted. The session will start at 1:00

If you just want to mosey around the event then turn up whenever you like

Summer BBQ at Tynemouth Rowing Club – Mick needs to know how many to expect so he can organise charcoal, etc. I have already sent more details via the Ukes email list.

If you are on the Ukes email list and have not received my email, maybe it has been gobbled up by your “spam filter”.

Dennis the Baby Elphint says "Be Happy"
Dennis the Baby Elphint by George Welch

Father to young son, "Son, someday you will make a girl very happy, for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you and be with new men who are ten times better than you could ever hope to be. These men are called musicians".
Musicians - can they live up to the hype? :-)
