22.01.2022 'LET IT BE' Ukulele Tutorial With time on your hands here is a chance to learn one of the Beatles’ most inspiring tunes, the 1970 hit Let It Be. Bob Guz from the Austin Ukulele Society [AUS] does a fantastic job in breaking down this great song and all chords are shown on screen.... https://youtu.be/FH0WqXclfgM The AUS always warm up their meetings with Bob Marley’s optimistic Three Little Birds before Bob does a fantastic, performance of his arrangement of the Beatles’ Let It Be. He then takes you through some helpful exercises to teach the strum style, chord progressions, and more, before he finally puts the song together and plays it through a couple of times and you can strum along. At the end the AUS always finish their meetings with their closing song, Willie Nelson’s On the Road Again. A big thank you to the AUS for this fantastic tutorial.

21.01.2022 NUTS $3,336 DONATION TO THE RED CROSS BUSHFIRE APPEAL. The NUTS Ukulele Group's thoughts are with all those impacted by the devastating bushfire crisis that has impacted our communities within NSW and across the country. To provide support and assistance to the tireless firefighters, emergency workers, volunteers and communities affected by the bushfires, NUTS Ukulele Group have made a $3,336 donation to the Red Cross Bushfire Disaster Appeal. ... Just after Christmas the NUTS committee agreed to donate $2500 to the appeal. [This is over 70% of our available funds which we hold for expenses such as hall hire, insurance, equipment, repairs etc.] We then passed a bucket around at our January 2020 Open Mic meeting and raised a further $836 from they 80+ Uke players who attended.
