Save the Old Spotted Dog campaign are hosting their annual Benefit Gig at the Red House on Friday November 13th – a great evening of entertainment, raising funds for the campaign.
Featuring US!!!! (“more ukuleles than is strictly decent in a public space”) alongside John Ellis (singer/songwriter/guitar maestro), Dorten Yonder, Chris Tymkow, John Beard, Mike Edmonds and more.
Hope you can come and support a cause dear to the heart of our much-missed founder plucker, Mark McGlynn.
Here it is, a new uke jam, overlooking the olympic park and hosted by us.
Come along with your instrument (it doesn’t have to be a uke) or just singalong / clap / generally percuss away (I looked it up: it’s not a word…).
It’s open to everyone, and it’s FREE
Look forward to seeing you there!
We’ve played a few times at this lovely open mic evening, overlooking the olympic park. This time we’re headlining. Come along for a great evening of music and spoken word – you never know who’s going to turn up. Fantastic acts, lovely food and drink, great view, great atmosphere. What more could you want?
Here’s a lovely thing we’ve started doing in the last couple of months – hosting a monthly jam in a great cafe overlooking the olympic park.
It’s not just ukes, and everyone’s welcome, from complete beginners (come a bit early for a half-hour basics lessons) to virtuosos. All ages too. Bring your own instrument (or voice), or there are a couple of ukes to borrow (come half an hour early for some basic uke tuition).
Good, clean fun on a Wednesday evening, Last Wednesday of every month. Look forward to seeing you!
Playing at a street party in Ilford. We’re on about 16:30 for half an hour. If you live in the area or can make it out to Barkingside, come and see us! Lots of fun will allegedly be going on, and we’re just part of it. Somehow the Queen’s got in on the act, can’t think why….
