Workshops for Ukuele with the Seaford

Worksh ops for Ukulele With th e Seaf ord Sunshin e Strumm ers

The Seaford Sunshine Strummers (Ukulele Group) formed 5 years ago, many as total beginners looking for a way to play music without any musical knowledge complications! The group offered a way to discover something new and challenging in retirement and act disgracefully as budding pop stars!

Since those early days the group has grown and has been able to repay the community by playing at various events in and around Seaford, raising money for local charities.

Playing the ukulele is just a small part of the experience. Members enjoy singing and meeting new people, and striking new found, friendships – all fundamental in the success ofmthe group. On these travels around the Seaford District the inquiries to join us/learn to play the ukulele have significantly grown. This of course is not just a Seaford phenomenon, many towns up and down the country and beyond have ukulele groups. Ukulele playing has grown. Is this down to George Harrison or Joe Brown? Perhaps not totally.

The group is preparing to put together beginners workshops for those people who are keen to learn the ukulele, spread over six weeks.

The initial cost to you is only to purchase a ukulele and a donation to cover the hire of the venue. This will lead to the setting up of a new group within Seaford.

If you are already able to play and want to assist in creating this enjoyable experience of playing with like-minded people or if you’d like to take part, please email Trevor: trevorjones332@btinternet.com to log your initial interest.

Please recycle this magazine when you have finished with it.
