Groups
I currently teach two groups. Which one would you like to join?
Tickhill Ukulele Group
We'll be back on Monday 7th September 2026!
Our Monday evening meetings at Tickhill Parish Room will resume after the summer break on Monday 7th September at 7pm. We’d love to see you all again! New members are also very welcome.
The group started in November 2014 and has grown rapidly. We now have up to 50 people attending.
It’s open to all ages and abilities, including complete beginners. We’re a friendly group and there’s always someone willing to show you the ropes. The aim is to get everyone playing and singing a wide variety of songs. I’ll provide the tabs and words and all the resources we use are available to download.
Don’t worry if you don’t have your own ukulele. You can borrow one of ours to start with. I’m very happy to give advice on buying your own instrument as well as tuning and maintaining it.
All the music we play is available to download here.
The cost of each session is £5 for adults and £3 for children. (Children must be accompanied by an adult.) Payment can be made in cash or by contactless payment (debit/credit card or Apple Pay/Google Pay).
Recently we’ve been learning “Don’t Stop Believing”, “Simply The Best”, “I Could Be So Good For You”, “Fool (If You Think It’s Over), “Space Oddity” and a number of other songs, old and new. If there are songs you’d particularly like to learn, I’m always open to suggestions. We have performed at a number of events in Tickhill, including the Tour de Yorkshire, the Tickhill Gala, Tickhill 40s Day and at St. Mary’s Church as part of T-Fest.

Althorpe Ukulele & Guitar Groups
The Althorpe Ukulele and Guitar Group was set up by Patrick Hornsby in their local village hall just outside Scunthorpe. In its original form it was just a guitar group which had just eight members who met in the house of one of the founder members.
Patrick had a wider vision on it and invited me to deliver a Ukulele Group as well in the lovely William Stephenson Memorial Hall in the heart of the village.
We are averaging more than 20 Ukulele players and between 8 and 10 guitarists on Friday mornings. We also hosted a number of pie and pea suppers where the group members and their families would gather for the group to play. It clearly became a bit of a lifeline for many members of the community.
If you’d like to take part, please get in touch.
