August 19 Jam

Greetings, ukulele fans in the Limestone City!

Summer is winding down. Which means that it's almost time for the CNE! Yeah, I know, there's never anything new to see at the "Ex". Except for this year. Check this out. The Langley Ukulele Ensemble is performing this year at the Ex, daily from August 30 to September 2. If you're not familiar with the group, it's where James Hill got his start. (James was described by CBC host Stuart as the "Wayne Gretzky of Ukulele".)

The next ukulele jam is this Wednesday, August 19, 7:00pm at the Royal Tavern. Please bring copies of your favorite songs to share with others and lead the group. I'll bring a few new and old songs as well. And if you haven't yet printed off your own copy of the new favorites document, you can download it here.

We jam in the Royal Tavern, 344 Princess Street. Parking is normally available on Princess Street. Or park in the lot at the back of the Royal, off Brock Street, just past the fire hall. Be sure to show your appreciation to the Royal by visiting the bar and purchasing a beverage or two. Don't forget that they also offer soft drinks, in addition to their assortment of beers and other alcoholic drinks.

Cheers! Hans
