More Flavor: Spectacle

Ukulele Wednesdays

Lorraine Hardman of the London-based ukulele-karaoke collective Karauke leads this weekly jam session at the Royal George. Drawing influence from the inimitable Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, attendees re-interpret classic tracks such as "Livin' on a Prayer" and "500 Miles" in unique uke fashion. Sheet music is available to download prior to each gathering and, in keeping with the non-elitist aesthetic, other types of instrument are accepted — up to a strict maximum of two per session. It is Ukulele Wednesdays, after all.

    First time I walked in here on a Wednesday, seeing all the happy faces and singing along with all the hits, I knew I was hooked! And as soon as I borrowed someone's uke and actually learnt to play a song by the end of the evening, I knew I wanted one of my own! So yes, I confess, I am a uke-lover and Wednesday regular ever since...
