Hi all,
Ukulele is cancelled this week (Thursday 30th).
Will see you all again next week.

As discussed last week, we are focusing on the following four songs:
Hoki Mai
Ruby
Blue Smoke
Its a heartache. 

Everyone needs to be practising at least a couple of times a week so that we can keep the momentum of the group moving along. 

Keep cool 'til after school.
Cherie & Stephen :-)

WIUO do Nick Cave

Andy and Nigel (from WIUO- the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra) recorded this version of Nick Cave’s “Breathless” during a 95bFM Roundhead Session. Nigel is wearing pants rather than a onesie. Nice


E7 upside down?

Grahame, don't know if you have looked but the easiest way to play e7 upside down (and around the wrong way!) looks to be the way we were playing last week. Although here are some other e7s to try...good luck
