This is a friendly association of U3A members, who enjoy learning and playing the ukulele, singing and having fun, with the opportunity to play before an audience as part of a band, if they wish.
The band, The West Wolds U3A Market Rasen Ukulele Band, has evolved from the ukulele group and now includes a bass player and two percussionists.
The Ukulele group meets on Wednesday evenings 7- 8.30 pm in St Thomas’ Church Room in Market Rasen. Last year we welcomed some new players – three of whom now play in the band. If you are interested in joining please contact the group convenor Heather Barratt (01673 849393), or email: bruin10@spitfire24.plus.com
