Hiya!
I’ve been playing the ukulele now for about a year, I taught myself but I was told about you guys by a friend. It seems fantastic and I’d love to be involved! How do I get involved? What session do you reccommend I go to and when and where is it? I’m definitely not a beginner but don’t really know how you would rank me? Also, which ukulele should I bring. I have a normal tanglewood uke and an electro-uke, which one would fit in the group best? Sorry about all of the questions!

Thank you!!

Hi Hannah, thank you for your lovely and enthusiastic comment 🙂

We currently run two Ukulele Groups in Ossett. ‘Ossett Ukulele Philharmonia’ which is a performing band, and we also run an informal strumming and play-along session at Eller Coffee, Station Road, Ossett, every third Thursday of the month. We’re currently operating a waiting list to join the Philharmonia as we’ve become very popular, but you’re more than welcome to take part in the informal sessions at Eller Coffee, see how you get along there and then ask for your name to be added to the waiting list.

In addition we’re leading a Mass Uke Jam at Grassington Festival on June 22nd (details above), you’re more than welcome to join us.
