Evelyn May & Stan Gee,
Cutty Wren Club, July 4th.´04

On wednesday the 7th of October 2009, Eve hosted the first meeting of the Cleveland Ukulele Fraternity. The venue was the Duke William at Skelton, which welcomed around a dozen & a half ukulele enthusiasts, comprising four members from the Darlington Ukulele Express club, some of the Cutty Wren Folk club regulars & a couple of my pupils. Eve & myself kicked it off with a couple of songs and I helped out as best he could despite suffering from a bad case of Shingles! Community style Singing/strumming seems to be the favourite activity, but we did manage to coax out a few solo & duo performances. It lacked a number of newcomers who promised to appear but didn´t, maybe next time? And there will be a next time! Scheduled for the 11th. of November 2009 at the same venue, and thereafter every 2nd. wednesday in the month. It has been Eve´s long held dream to have a Ukulele Orchestra, and this club is the first step! So whatever your level, come along and give it a try. You can borrow a Ukulele if you haven´t got one yet, and we will get you started!
