Hawthorn, Co Durham – Village Fair – Sat July 31st

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
