Session 20 September 09

What a beautiful day today - next session, if the weather's like this, we're outside...

26 enthuisatic uke-ers today, with a few new faces too, lots of old faces and all happy faces!

Next session is Sunday 11 October. If it's nice, we'll be outside at the park next to Arthur Street School. Bring sunnies, sunscreen, clothes pegs (because your music is bound to fly away...), something to sit on and your afternoon tea!

Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra in Dunners

Hey ho folks

The good people of the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra are wending their way to Dunedin and are very kindly hosting a couple of workshops.

click here for details

This is a fab opportunity to meet actual members of the sensationally wonderful WIUO and learn their styley method of uke-playing.

(not the WIUO - it's our very own Sophie a.k.a. Skemp)

Pics from the Second Gig

Far out - I'm on fire!

Here's some pics from the DUC's 2nd ever gig - at the Dunedin Entertainers' Club on Tues 15 September. A very fun night. Cheers to Maggie for the photos.

August Session

Holy Mole-y

Apologies everyone - it's been a very long 2 months since I've updated this blog. Oops...

Anyway - here's the photos from August's session. We're having another one tomorrow (Sunday 20 September). Do feel free to turn up. We'll be there from 1 - 2:30pm in Room 208 of the King Edward Court. Flick me an email if you're keen (dunedinukulele@gmail.com)

Ukulele for a Cold Winter's Day

04.07.09

Kia ora Otepoti Ukulele Whanau

Awesome session today. 25 strummers – most of who were newbies which is so exciting. Equally exciting is seeing all the old hands back too.

Loads of good has come out of our performance the other week - more performance opportunities, talks of a DVD (!) and possibly even a road-trip for an East Coast-West Coast Ukulele Jam with the Aspiring Ukes. Super fun.

The next session will be on Sunday 02 August from 1 – 2:30pm in Room 208 of the King Edward Court, Stuart St, Dunedin.

Email or text Justine if you’re keen to come along.

Alternatively, check us out of FaceBook – become a fan of the Dunedin Ukulele Club.

Ka kite!
