M.U.K. Beginners Workshop

11th Mar 2012

Presenter: Lord Uke
Website:
Event Duration: 60 minutes

Since bursting upon the televisions of the nation in February 2006 with a 50 strong group of ukers of all ages performing a rousing rendition of "Long Way to the Top" by ACDC, the MUK has seen the rise of ukulele in Australia like a musical tsunami! When we began planning our first MUK Big Band shows back in 2004 there was no other ukulele groups in the country and it was hard to find a decent uke for sale in any local stores. Of course it's a different picture now!

As in the beginning, the MUK is an open ukulele group and we have no restrictions for membership. We play at festivals, weddings, community gatherings, charity events, pubs, schools, chicken sheds, etc. Like most uke groups, our repetoire is a mix of old and new. We have free beginners classes at the Cornish Arms Hotel, upstairs at 163a Sydney Rd Brunswick, every Wednesday from 6-7pm. Participants are encouraged to stay on for the MUK rehearsal which follows.
