Background
Willoughby Ukestars is an evening group of ukulele performers who are either based in the the Willoughby Local Government Area or are students of Ian Porter. It is NOT a typical ‘hum and strum’ group. We set a higher standard by playing well-known pieces with additional picking, solos and multi-part arrangements. It will help if you can read some notation and know basic scales, but there’s always a strumming part anyway. If you have attended one of Ian’s courses you will automatically qualify.
We usually rehearse for about an hour, have a short drinks break and then use the remaining time to play anything the group wants to play, including open -mic, grey book.
The group plays at community events and markets including in Chatswood Mall, That Great Market, Royal North Shore Hospital, Carols in The Park
We meet on 3rd Wednesday evening (normally, but check home page for any updates) at Willoughby Park Bowling Cub, 7pm-9pm, $10 cover.
You can share material on the first evening if you have never been before.
