Murray and Laura’s – 134 Rink Avenue
Laura and Murray have opened up their home to us for August’s circle.
There will be no new music, but we have lots of old favourites.
Bring a deck chair if you have one. There is a bit of seating on the deck, but not enough for everyone.
We will be back to the shop in September. There is no musical theme; feel free to request your favourites. I’ve already got a few lined up from Blondie and John Denver.
Next circle: Tuesday, July 3
7–9 PM
Malty National, 1130 15th Avenue, Regina
July’s circle will take us away from the shop and into one of Regina’s favourite craft breweries: Malty National! Not only are they gaining international attention with beers that are both daring and traditional … not only do they collaborate with other brewers to elevate Saskatchewan’s growing craft brewing scene … not only are they building a community and helping revitalize the Heritage Neighbourhood … but one of the owners even plays the ukulele! As if they weren’t super cool already!
And I know others in the circle agree because every time I stop by, I seem to run into some of you!
Malty National is a family-friendly establishment, so those under 19 are welcome to join us.
I wasn’t planning on adding any new music, but Rolf has suggested we play some drinking songs. Go ahead and send them my way by June 22 so I can get them up on the site a week before the circle.
In August we will return to my back yard unless someone has a great spot they’d like to suggest.

I’ve prepared four new songs for May’s circle. Thank you, everyone, for the suggestions.
I’ll warn you now, Closer to Fine is a finger stretcher, but it was also the most requested song and this is the easiest version of the chords I could find. I’ve linked to a video of someone playing this arrangement on ukulele.
We’ll also play these favourites from our song book:
See you all next week!

First off, a huge thank you to everyone who came out to our anniversary circle. I had a lot of fun and all the soloists sounded amazing!
May’s theme is female singer-songwriters. I’ve been given a few suggestions, but we have plenty of room for more.
I’ve also had requests for Joni Mitchell, Sarah McLaughlin, Sarah Harmer, Melissa Etheridge, Jewel, Lisa Loeb and Indigo Girls. Are there any specific songs people want to play?
If you want to get a head start on June’s circle, we’re dusting off the pianola rolls for music from the 1920s.

Valentine’s Day is around the corner so we’ve lined up a mix of love songs and breakup songs.
Did you realize our birthday is just around the corner?! April 2018 will mark our fourth anniversary and, has become tradition, we’re going to open up the floor to anyone who wants to share their talents and favourite songs with the group.
