GIG REQUESTS: As well as the Asylum link fundraiser, we have now been asked to perform a set at the LOVE WAVERTREE Christmas market on 16th December at some point in the afternoon. More info to follow. Please let Elaine know if you are available.
ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE
This week you will learn ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE in the key of G. This is an arrangement that the level 3 group will start with an instrumental section before you all come in together.
AUDIO PLAY ALONG TRACK:
This is the instrumental track that the level 3 group will start with. Try playing and singing along, as your chords should match this rhythm. We will record the full rehearsal in class.
Here is the full track with both parts together as recorded in class.

UCL FESTIVE FUNDRAISER EVENT INFO:
Will take place at SEFTON PARK CRICKET CLUB on Wednesday, 6th December 2023 from 7.30pm and will include a fundraising raffle for a fantastic festival that you could all be performing at next May, JESS2VAL. This charitable festival hosted by two of our lovely UCL members to raise funds for the Owen McVeigh Foundation - helping children affected by cancer.
If you can help by donating any raffle prize gifts, please bring them into class over the next few weeks. The more the merrier! Drinks, chocolates, gift sets, uke stuff, meal/event vouchers and hand made crafts all very welcome!
RAFFLE TICKETS: Will go on sale soon and can be purchased via the website or at the event. They cost £5 per strip for 5 entries and we have a pretty special ukulele up for grabs with a tonne of ukulele accessories to go with it, plus a tonne of other fantastic festive prizes.
