This is big. It’s our community and our music on show. 2 choirs and 9 ukestras over 4 hours.
Book Tickets Now
At our last Showcase we had 400+ people. You can witness many of those performances here.
Each ukestra and choir is accompanied by the wonderful Tom Dowding on drums, and bass.
Plus we have arranged for our One Song Sing videographer extraordinaire, Peter King, to film the whole thing. And we will put photos of the event on this page. SO wear colourful clothes, bring your music and ukes. Or just be a part of the audience, enjoy, celebrate and soak it all in.
There are lucky door prizes given away during the day, but you must pre-purchase your tickets to be eligible, and be there when they are drawn.
