Hi all, We made it into the observer! Fame at last. Well done everyone. Cheers Nick
Hi All,
Nice atmospheric picture! And here's a link to the full Worcester Observer article to put the WUC picture into context. The photo looks to be taken in Cathedral Square near the main stage - WUC appeared on the main stage on Thursday 4th Dec 15.00 - 15.45, 16 WUCcies playing with Trev leading, plus Nick (and friend!) on bucket rattling duties.

30/10/25 Ukulele Workshop Day... Didn't They Do Well Again!
Trevor presented yet another fantastic workshop to a great bunch of 15 Ukulele Newbies today, guiding everyone from Uke Parts all the way to Uke Playing.
The 'Newbies' laughed nervously at the start, when it was announced that the Wuccies would kick off proceedings by performing a song for them, on condition that they (the Newbies) would wrap up the session by performing a song for us. Not sure that they thought we were being serious! However, they were a great bunch, who worked hard and made great progress. There were lots of happy faces at the end when they actually did a brilliant rendition of Achy Breaky Heart for us.
Thanks, again to our good friends from Music City for coming along with a range of uke bits and pieces.

13/04/25 Ukulele Workshop Day... Didn't They Do Well!
Hi, all. Today - Sunday 13th April - saw our latest Absolute Beginners’ Workshop. Although uptake was slow when the Workshop was first advertised, interest picked up, thanks, no doubt, to some publicity in the Worcester Evening News and on BBC Radio Hereford & Worcester, and we ended up with 14 people taking their first, tentative steps on the great ukulele journey. Considering that the majority of them had never played the ukulele before - and at least 2 had never played any musical instrument before, - the progress made was considerable and impressive, to the extent that the ‘L-plate’ players played us out at the end with The 4-chord song, Teenager In Love. Without any shadow of a doubt, the WUC-Buddy system gives a huge boost to our learners, so many, many thanks to the 14 of you who sacrificed your Sunday morning to come along and give your support. I got lots of positive comments from the learners after we’d finished, saying how appreciative they were of their ‘buddy’. Perhaps my favourite comment was from the young lady who confessed to having owned her uke - a lovely Fender soprano - for 10 years without ever playing it: it has spent all that time in her loft!!! We were the catalyst (posh word for kick up the backside) she needed to get stuck in to making some music with it, at long last!
Thanks, also to Steve from Music City for coming along with a range of ukes and various other bits of uke paraphernalia.
I’m hoping we’ll see some new faces at WUC over the next few weeks as our Newbies continue their journey.
Many thanks, again, to all who helped with the success of the event.
