Ukes4Fun & Benalla Theatre Company Jamming Session video!

22/11/2023

Benalla Theatre Company and U3A Benalla Ukes 4 Fun group found another venue for their Jamming session on Tuesday 21st November when rain and thunder interfered with the planned gathering at the Rotunda in the gardens. Rene Martens was able to get some video and reported that "Fun was had by all who attended. The groups hope to have a few more sessions in the future".

Rene's 35 minute video can be viewed above or by clicking the link to his Youtube channel. Rene suggests "change the resolution to 4K and sit back and enjoy".

Thanks to Stephen Winkler from BTC for leading the session, and to Rene for the video!

Thanks so much to Rene Martens for this wonderful video of our first public performance. It's around 18 minutes long, so sit back, relax and enjoy! It starts fairly quietly... also, Rene said you can change the resolution in Settings to 4K for best viewing if it defaults to very low resolution when you go to play it.

You'll need to increase the volume on your speakers to listen to the following - unedited - clip of 'Amazing Grace' recorded on a smartphone on 7 August... It starts slowly...so persevere.... .

At the end of the session we heard the news that Heather's operation that morning went well, much to everyone's relief and indeed joy! Get well Heather!

Thank you so much to Dorothy's ukulele playing friend, Michael Dobson and his wife, for coming from Melbourne to lead a most enjoyable session while Heather was away.

A video snippet follows - you may need to put in your hearing aids or put your speakers up to hear the music!

Thank you, Michael!

'Hang down your head, Tom Dooley', with John Barry

Now that we have learnt to strum and have practised our Chord Progressions we are singing songs such as 'Tom Dooley', 'On Top of Old Smokey' and more. If you have 5 minutes watch this clip* of the group singing 'Tom Dooley' in early April. Just six sessions into the course! John Barry conducted a session on playing the same section of music in various keys and how to achieve this through Chord Progression.

"Some of us have only been playing for a few weeks!"

It is such a pleasure watching group members develop their ukulele skills.

*You will probably find the video needs buffering, is quite short and cuts off quickly... but it's fun. Usually once it's buffered through on a device it will play more quickly on that device next time.
