We’ve played through a number of different song styles recently, including some Pop songs, some Gospel and some Rock ‘n’ Roll. We’ve even had a go at Elton John’s ‘Crocodile Rock’, would you believe. Additionally, as ‘Strictly Ukuleles’, we performed two concerts in June, so we’ve been busy. Have Uke, be happy!! David Evans.

On Sunday 18th June, only five members of group 3 in the Singles Sunday Lunches were available to meet together in the Church and Horses pub in Lubenham.
