25/07/21 Newton Green Community Group
Hi Everyone, A huge thank you to everyone who played at Ronkswood today, we had a great time. The weather held off and was ideal, not too hot and no rain. We had a good crowd who sang along and enjoyed themselves, they brought their kids and their grannies and they all joined in. We were live streamed as part of the "Bands in the Park", I think that was on Facebook. Elaine grabbed one of the young ladies who came up to put some money in the buckets and together you collected £52.04. Brilliant, thank you for that inspired move, you came armed with your Wizzer and Kazoo - fantastic, shame about the church bells in Amarillo, more like a dying cop siren (only joking). Geoff played brilliantly this afternoon, just what was needed, thank you Geoff. Thanks also to David, his first gig with us. He has been waiting since last March to do it, I hope it was worth the wait. To the rest of the crew, fantastic, you make the leader's job so easy. One last thing, when Jenny came up to pay our fee, she insisted on giving us more so we got £100 instead of the £75 I had agreed with her. Stay safe and see you soon, John

20/07/21 Elaine and Geoff's Caravan
Hi All, Welcome to the crazy unorganised world of Recovery and our part in it. I don’t really know what to say other than Thank you for turning up and putting up with my mad idea of playing round the trailer and choosing your own song. We managed to collect £13.17, from a very small crowd who mostly didn’t have money on them. What more is there to say? Thanks Elaine
20/07/21 Worcester Community Trust

Thanks to the band who celebrated the ending of lockdown restrictions by performing at Worcester Community Trust gig tonight. Conditions were a bit challenging (we were outside, not inside as we had been told) and the audience got a bit sparse after the food was eaten. For those that remained however, we sang and played well, had some dancing from some children and had compliments on our performance. We raised £27.26 in the ARUK charity bucket. So well done all, on a very warm evening. Allan.

Dear CPH players, A bit thank you to all who turned up yesterday to play at the hotel. We had a grand time and we’re much appreciated by the unsuspecting audience.
The bride to be and her party said we had provided a lovely backdrop to their afternoon. Yvonne said that every table made a donation, we collected £82.52. You should all be very proud of yourselves. Thanks again to Jean for sorting getting the list to you before the day and for co hosting on the day. I have a feeling we will be asked back again. Elaine |
30/05/21 Berkeley Arms - Gig no. 1
|
Trevor was very pleased yesterday, with the Wuccies first gig in about 15 months -
"A huge thank you and well done to the socially-distanced fourteen who this afternoon went to the Berkeley Arms to play in our first gig since March 2020. We had a sizeable and receptive audience who were obviously enjoying sitting out in the glorious sunshine of a May Bank Holiday Sunday (how unusual is that?!), sipping a pint, chewing the fat and tapping their feet to the music of the ukulele! I will admit to having been a little nervous about this first gig, with little or no recent practice, but thanks in no small part to John's great leadership and his virtuoso performance on the bass, it was as if we'd never been away. We were tight and together, (musically!) with only one minor hiccup when some of us took the wrong turning on the road to Amarillo!. There were two birthdays going on at the pub, and we duly sang Happy Birthday to both. Perhaps the high-spot of the afternoon was right at the end, when we cajoled Nathan, the birthday boy, into taking the mike and singing Sweet Caroline - ukulareoke style - helped by a family member and the 14 of us. Had we been inside, it would probably have brought the house down! A great afternoon! We left them wanting more, and hopefully a nice sum of money will have been collected for the pub's charity - St Richards Hospice. Thanks again, everyone! " |

21/05/21 The First Gathering of WUCCIES in a Year!
Hi all you who braved the vile weather to play at the Bell today. Fortunately the proprietor saw that the marquee without sides might just be too windswept to be compatible with survival and she put us in an open air part of the pub with a roof. This sheltered us from the worst of the storm. Those closest to the great outdoors donned sou'westers etc. and managed to stay reasonably dry.
Thanks very much to Colin for leading and putting the song pack together.
In the end, we had 18 members and raised £36. We gave £15 to the pub for which they were very grateful and the £21 will go to ARUK. In addition, the golfing arm of the club in the form of Brian Charles, finally managed to have the long awaited game of golf on Upper Sapey Golf course (for which the club had been given a voucher -long story). This generated a further £40 for ARUK.
Best wishes, Allan.
