At our first session in July, guest presenter John Canty, founding convenor of the U3A Ukes group in Shepparton, introduced the group to jam session ‘walk ups’ in which individuals or small groups offer to play something they have been working on, add their name to a board and are called out to perform for an audience. In a practice run (pictured), Neville, Phiona and Claire worked as a group and performed their first ‘walk up’!
Ukes4Fun was also led by a couple of its members during July, learning new songs and reviewing the four chords which are the basis for the majority of the songs written and sung these days – Chord C, Am, F and G7.
Over recent months we have been fortunate to welcome experienced musicians Neville and Hans who are happy to lead the group when necessary.
It is so rewarding to see how far this group has developed, from beginners to being able to sing, play and enjoy our music together.
