It doesn't matter if you are Jimmy Hendrix or Jim Carrey when it comes to musical talent, all are welcome at the Ukejam. William Gadsby Peet discusses music and lyrics
- What is Ukejam
Ukejam is a local all acoustic instrument jam; everyone in a pub playing well known songs at the same time from song sheets, led by seasoned performers and teachers. It is community music at its joyful best.
- Do I need to own a ukulele to get involved?
Ukejam brings about 30 ukuleles to each session, set up and ready to borrow for the evening.
- I have never picked up an instrument before can I still get involved?
At Ukejam we play at least a third of the night with super easy songs, with only a few easy to play chords, on the Guildford Fringe Ukejam we will be playing more easy songs.
- The jam is taking place in a pub, is tipsy ukuleling allowed?
We run Ukejam in welcoming pubs in many towns in Surrey. In Guildford it is the multiple award-winning Britannia. The venue is usually quite well attended, so have a drink if you like, but the music and people generally lower the inhibitions on their own.
- You guys are local, what does the Guildford Fringe mean to the area?
The Guildford Fringe is an excellent way to bring together the best entertainment the area has to offer, in a great, easy to reach forum, it allows followers of many activities to access other great things to do.
Ukejam comes to The Britannia Pub on July 8 as part of the Free Fringe. For more information, visit: guildfordfringefestival.com
