Groups
I currently teach two groups. Which one would you like to join?
Tickhill Ukulele Group
We're back!
Our Monday evening meetings at Tickhill Parish Room have now resumed. We’d love to see you all again!
We look forward to seeing you soon!
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.
Recently we’ve been learning “You’re The One That I Want’ from Grease, Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’, “When I’m 64′ by the Beatles, ‘We Are The Champions’ by Queen, ‘Everybody Needs Somebody’ from The Blues Brothers 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
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.
At the time of lockdown we were averaging more than 20 Ukulele players and between eight 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.
The guitar group still continues in an online format during the pandemic. If you’d like to take part, please get in touch.
