7/05/22 Woodland View
Well done WUCCIES and DUCCIES. A spirited performance at the Woodland care home from combined WUCCIES and DUCCIES today. We played to a small but highly appreciative audience who clapped, tapped and sang along. At the end of the gig, one of the residents made a small speech in which she thanked us for giving her lots of joy. I can't think of a nicer compliment, so well done everyone. Finally, thanks to Pattie for excellent co-leading and her part in setting up the gig. Allan.
7/05/22 Malvern Spring Festival
5/05/22 Crookbarrow View
We arrived at the gig tonight with a certain amount of trepidation, would anyone turn up? It was the first social evening that had been organised at the new Crookbarrow View Apartments and there are still quite a few, as yet, unoccupied. It is on the site of the old Tax Office and made me break out into a cold sweat as we drove in. I always hated having to go there, it gives me the shivers just thinking about it!!!! By the time we started, the audience was a little thin on the ground, but we needn't have worried as they sang along from the very beginning and were soon joined by many more. It wasn't too long before we managed to persuade some to get up and dance and as the evening progressed, we ended up with a floor full with lots of arm waiving with phone lights in lieu of cigarette lighters. We agreed a small fee as they had no budget for this type of event with the option to pass the bucket around which one of the ladies did during the break. When Trevor counted what had been collected and including the fee, we had a staggering £283.60, which must be one of the best collections we have made from around 40 folks. All in all, a great night, the band played and sang their heart out, a huge thank you to everyone who played, we had a ball. I'm sure we will be back there before too long. Cheers, John Hi
2/05/22 Cripplegate Park
Allan led a keen / mad group of 23 Wuccies yesterday-
"Many thanks to the all terrain, all weather band who turned out to give an excellent performance at Cripplegate Park this afternoon. Great to have Mark WW back playing bass. The audience was very sparse due to unpromising weather, but we sang and played with spirit. As well as the £100 gig fee, we collected £17.58 in the buckets from the few passers by out for a bracing bank holiday walk. Thanks again to all for an enjoyable gig".

27/04/22 Claines Royal British Legion Senior Citizens' Club
This afternoon a gang of 14 Wuccies, led by John Hi, played & sang with great gusto at Claines Royal British Legion Senior Citizens' Club. We had an enthusiastic audience, who even got up to dance a couple of times, when we were singing Elvis songs! We think John was very happy with our performance - "Great gig, thank you all, a cracking gig"
14/03/22 The Talbot Kempsey
Last Monday a small band of Worcester ukulele pilgrims played in the Talbot to the 'Come on in' group. This was an extremely successful gig, well played, sung and led by Trevor who's introduction to 'I'll Never Find Another Ewe'! has now taken on Tolkien like proportions. The really good news was that the collection and gig fee added up to £180 for Pancreatic Cancer UK so well done all. John He
04/02/22 St Paul's Church Worcester
A big thank you to the enthusiastic bunch of Wuccies who turned up for today`s gig! There was a rumour that it was the free lunch that attracted them all but I don`t believe such nonsense!!
The lunch did look very good though!! We played very well for most of the time with just one slight hiccup on Chanson d`Amour when it seemed half the band were at one speed and singing in French while the other half played the national Anthem!!! Well, we got it sorted and the audience took it very well indeed which they always do at this very welcoming venue where we were told we had top billing. Thank you to John for his excellent bass and t`other John for filling in some lead uke and telling the audience about our current charity collection. To cap it all we collected £61.55 on top of our Gig fee making a total of £111.55 towards our charity - a good day`s playing and very enjoyable to boot!! Thank you all again.... Rob
