'Ukeladies' concert at Thoona ...

18/6/2024

"Went out to the Thoona Hall today with the U3A Benalla and District Ukulele Group to watch and listen to a group of 10 ladies (called themselves the Ukeladies) playing and singing songs as part of Thoona CWA fundraising for the Hay Bales to be trucked to where they are required. So, I took a few photos and this video - remember you can change the resolution to 4K for best viewing..."

Ps - I've added this to 'Jamming Videos'... as members of the group were in the audience, imagining all the possibilities to come... Bev Lee
