Vicky Lee’s beautiful marquetry table-tops at the Cumberland Arms
Many thanks to Allan Smith for the photo’s. I am hoping to see Vicky soon so will ask if she has an original photo – as Allan pointed out, the tables were a bit grubby so the photo does not do the marquetry full justice.
Vicky has also done some stunning marquetry on ukuleles and guitars that you might see around at The Cumberland and elsewhere in Newcastle from time to time.
This photo does not do justice to Vicky’s work either unfortunately:

CANCELLED: Ukes4Fun Nov 18th; Next session is Thurs Nov 25th – with Birthday Cake courtesy of the Cumberland Arms
The bad news: The Cumberland Arms is very sorry but we cannot have the “music room” next week on Nov 18th ;-(
We could not think of an alternative venue tonight but if anyone has any ideas please let me know a.s.a.p. (The Biscuit Factory closes earlier now so that is not an option).
The good news: to celebrate Ukes4Fun’s 1st birthday, the Cumberland Arms is going to bake us a cake for the session on Nov 25th :-)

Blue Eyes – Don Partridge – Uke Chords [Key G], Lyrics and mp3
Don Partridge 27 October 1941 – 21 September 2010) was an English singer and songwriter, known as the “king of the buskers“. He performed from the early 1960s as a busker and one-man band, and achieved unexpected commercial success in the UK in the late 1960s with the songs “Rosie” and “Blue Eyes”.

I found the chords for Blue Eyes in B but this makes it a bit hard to play so I changed the key to G to make this song sheet.
