Ukulele – Misspent Ukes

Misspent Ukes meets weekly to play and practise the ukulele together. The group started in 2023, has grown rapidly in number, has its own teacher and has begun playing local gigs. It is friendly and supportive, and members are encouraged to develop their skills at their own rate. Anyone with some previous experience on the ukulele, or switching from the guitar, can come straight in, while complete beginners are offered a six week starter course a couple of times a year, the next starting on 17 September 2026 and running on Thursdays from 1pm until 3pm at Wellesbourne Bowls Club. Reading music is not a requirement, as members are taught to read chord charts and the songs used are popular ones from the 1960s onwards. The group meets on Thursdays from 10am until noon at Wellesbourne Bowls Club and is run jointly with Dene Valley u3a, with members from a number of local u3a branches.
