The Vancouver Ukulele Circle provides a place where ukulele enthusiasts can meet monthly, play some songs and have a few laughs. We meet on the third Tuesday of every month, and you're welcome to join us. Check this page monthly to confirm the location.

Next monthly meeting

Tuesday, September 21, 2010, our 10th Anniversary! We think we're the oldest ukulele club in Canada and maybe on the continent, but we're open to hearing from other contenders for that title. So far, the only thing we're doing to acknowledge the event is to suggest that performance-time tunes feature the number 10 in some way.

Other than that, it's our regular third-Tuesday meeting at:

Our Town 
245 E. Broadway 
(north side between Main and Kingsway)
Vancouver, BC, V5T 1W4 
Phone: (604) 879-1924 
Free parking via lane off Broadway west of Kingsway, up the ramp, about 16 spaces, 
or toonie parking along Main or Kingsway.

They serve soup and paninis and desserts and offer coffee shop drinks and beer and wine. So come for dinner at 6:30 or dessert at 7:00, and we'll start the playing and singing at 7:30 as usual.

What we'll do at this "meeting"

Generally, we play together from our songbook for about an hour, take a break, and then have an "open mike" (one-tune performances) by willing people. Come along and join the fun. We're not scary or intimidating, and we have the whole range of playing abilities, including people who don't play the uke at all but for some reason like hearing a roomful of them. It's just a cafe - you may come and lurk or come and join us. Check out Ralph's blog for a month-by-month running commentary of the goings-on.

Changes in location for some reason will be made known to people on the group's mailing list. If you'd like to be on the yahoogroup mailing list, send a note to Wendy at vanukes@vcn.bc.ca giving your name, location, and your interest in the group (enough to make it clear that you're a real person and not a spammer).
