All abilities welcome!
Our members are at all levels and we even have one or two experts. You can come for some or all of the session, the first half hour is for beginners/learners to try simple strum techniques and chord changes etc. We then have a general session of favourites and new songs till 9.20pm, after a short break there is a "round the table" for those wishing to perform a song. We pay £4 a session and the British Legion has great ale and good wine so have a drink to accompany your playing. Contact us for more information.
Gigs and Sessions
We usually have slots at the Stortford Music Festival in May and Hatfield Forest Woodfest in September. We also play local fetes and festivals, private parties and we organise a couple of charity gigs each year. See the
Diary for dates of our gigs and sessions. As well as these and the regular Monday sessions you will also find ukes at the open music sessions around Bishops Stortford - see the
Uke Scene page for details of these.
