Sedgley Ukulele Strummers

Morning all,

Hope everyone is fit and well. The weather is great, so that should keep everyone’s spirits up, except the hay fever sufferers. But a strumalong should help too. 
We had a very successful meet up last Thursday. With a few things to iron out, but for a first go it seems everybody enjoyed it.  We will be meeting again at 8:10 this Thursday, playing the selection of songs that I will choose, initially. Then everyone can know the order in advance.  Following that, we will go “round the room, “ as usual, but if you would message me with your choice beforehand, then we will be able to hear Strummers’s choices clearly as I can announce them straight away.

Another suggestion, was to have a short break to allow strummers to fetch a cuppa, or whatever is your poison, or to chat together.  We will give this a try too. 

So, on to the set list
By the way, Thursday (tomorrow) is St. George’s Day so my choices are mainly British songs.  Happy birthday William Shakespeare too!


Act Naturally, an easy-going Beatles song, sung by Ringo, I believe.
All My Loving. Sticking with the Beatles theme, the AmMj7 is easier to play than say!
I’m into Something Good. Remember ladies, second time round don’t sing the extra line at the end of the chorus.
Little Things Mean a Lot. Awwww. Important to remember that, these days.
Oom Pah Pah. From the sublime to the ridiculous!
Sunny Afternoon. You won’t hear the bass intro so keep the count in your head.
Tickle My Heart. Again, don’t panic over the C diminished. It’s easy.
With a Little Help From My Friends. Not done this for a while.  See if you remember it.

And last but not least.
Old Time Medley No. 1.  Couldn’t be more English if we tried. 

Well that’s all, I think for now.  You should have received an “invitation “ from Keith, giving you the details, passwords etc.  If not, contact Keith or myself.  Or, if you want to join us for the first time, get in touch. 

Oh, by the way, if you wish to go through some new songs we are introducing in the new book, coming out soon. We will be having a “Last Tuesday of the Month,” next week on the 28th April. 

See you soon, stay safe and keep strummin.

Hi All,

Thanks to Di, Joe and Keith for keeping us all together x
enjoyed last night, thank you.  I had to wrestle with my cat a couple of times who wanted to get in on the act.   Looking forward to next time.
Stay safe everyone x

Hi Di, Joe and Keith,
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the Zoom Club Night Meeting last night. We thoroughly enjoyed it!  It was great to see everybody again and to be able to sing along with you.  It seems ages since we all met up!  Thank goodness for the technology that allows us all to meet up virtually like this as I think it will be a while before things change for the better!
Well done - and keep up the good work!
Keep safe....
Linda and John

Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed strumming along last night. It was a good night, lovely to see  and speak to you all.  I think the organisation of the evening went well with everyone able to link up reasonably well.  I didn’t have any requests for songs beforehand, but hopefully, everyone was able to hear the choices.  We will meet up again next week and if you have any particular requests, feel free to let me know.  We will also be playing the new songs that were issued with last Tuesdays Zoom session.  Make sure you download them and we will add them to our list for next week.

Thanks everyone,
See you next week,

Morning all,
Here we are again with another selection of songs for this week. I hope everyone is still keeping well and following Boris’ clear as mud guidelines.😁. Poor guy, I wouldn’t wish his job on anyone.  Anyway, keep happy, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday.  If you have any requests then please let us know. 

Here goes.

Rollin In My Sweet Baby’s Arms. Everyone can join in this.
Baby Face/Pretty Baby.  Enjoy yourselves with this.
Freight Train.  Again, listen out for the “Train whistle”
Dedicated Follower of Fashion.  Tricky beginning.
Even the bad times are good.  Mind the Bm. Stretch those  fingers. As Mr. Motivator might say.
Fly Me to the Moon.  Some different chords. But easy ones.
Folsom Prison Blues.  Back to the train whistle.
I Walk the Line.  I know, another Johnny Cash.

Now a couple of new ones again

Burning Bridges.
Obladi Oblada. 

That’s it for now. Don’t forget to request any songs.(Not Rawhide or Ghostriders PLEASE) 😁😁😁

Keep safe, keep smiling and keep strummin.

Hello Ian. I think a few music shops would sell you a tuner on line. Don’t know any in your area, but have you used the correct battery?  The battery might be the right size, but the numbers are different. It will probably be
CR2032.  Other than that I suggest trying to google any music shops in your area.
Take care and stay safe. SUS.

Cheers Di great job again loved it, really worth the effort see you next week Pete Wilkes
