10am-12pm

@ Carrington Bowling Club

Repertoire (print or download)

Sunday Newkestra is for people new to the ukulele. Don’t be scared, don’t rehearse unnecessarily. Mark will select from these songs, but in no way will we EVER get through all of these songs in a session. Depending upon who shows up, Mark will bespokely tailor the set list to try to meet the needs of every single person who shows up. (Well, some of them). Each song is just an opportunity to practise some sort of skill, chord progression, or riff. Remember, single thumb strums are next to godliness.
