I saw these at the Edinburgh Festival last year, when they went under the name of “The Ukes Are Coming!” – and they are brilliant!

They are not coming to Tyneside but they are on in Middlesbrough and Hexham:

LizzieLeave a comment
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

Lizzie2 Comments
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
