Fabulous U3A Ukulele Band Concert 2023
What a treat we had at Uttoxeter Gateway Club with U3A!
The Uttoxeter U3A Ukulele Band turned out in style starting our Christmas Season with a smile and Christmas jumpers in abundance. The atmosphere of anticipation crackled through the air as our members waited patiently for the band.
As soon as they appeared on stage the room was filled with the sound of applause and shakers being waved. With song sheets at the ready, the roof was quickly raised by the voices of our enthusiastic members, their families and carers. With thanks to Karen Moore for her kind donation of percussion instruments, the sound of tambourines, maracas and egg shakers joined the voices in a round of happy delight.
U3A played a selection of favourites including American Pie, Brown Eyed Girl and Hi Ho Silver Lining which quickly warmed the vocal cords. After a brief interval for the tea or coffee and a mince pies (thanks to our wonderful Pauline) the fun continued with a homage to Christmas to get us in the festive spirit.
The U3A Ukulele Band are playing again later this year to share the joy with a number of the elderly residents of Uttoxeter and I think Uttoxeter Gateway Club can say that they are in for a real treat. Thank you U3A. We hope to hear from you again in the new year.
The next thrilling adventure on Tuesday next week is a trip to the Cinebowl but rather than bowling this time we are going to see a film! So be there in time for the start and remember to be collected afterwards a bit later at 8.45pm.
Until next time…
