Format: This will be a Kanikapila/Uke Circle where we sit in a circle and take turns calling songs. Please select your selection of up to six songs from the QC Ukes songbook. You are welcome to call or perform songs from any other source. If possible please post your selected songs early in the comments of our FB event page, so we can be prepared.

What to bring: you, your uke(s), chair, music stand, data-enabled device if you wish to access the songbook or other songbook(s), tuner, water, other uke players …

We hope that the weather will be perfect. Please spread the word to other uke players you may know so that we can make a good noise.

See you soon, Rolf 

As usual, all are welcome – any age, any ability from total newbie to uke-star. Please invite friends.

Our June circle is on the first Saturday this month, rather than our usual 2nd Saturday. We’ll meet to sing and strum on Saturday, June 7th at 2pm. All are welcome – any age, any ability from total newbie to uke-star. Please invite friends.

The  About  page has details such as location, songbook, what to bring. Really, all you need is a ukulele.
Please note: all outdoor shoes must be removed, all year long. You’re welcome to bring indoor shoes / slippers.

Reminder: Our June circle has moved to the first Saturday – June 7th at the usual time and location – Ruth Pawson School. 20 Weekes Cres, Regina, Saskatchewan  (click the address for a G-map pin).

Hello ukulele friends! Please mark your calendars. We have a different plan for June, July & Aug, 2025. Please check our FB page, website and newsletters for updates a week before each circle.

Our June circle has moved to the first Saturday – June 7th at the usual time and location – Ruth Pawson School. 20 Weekes Cres, Regina, Saskatchewan (click the address for a G-map pin).

For July & August, we don’t have the school and will meet for an outdoor circle, unless anyone wants to host us. We’ll continue to meet on the 2nd Saturday at 2pm for the summer months. Our usual outdoor spot is in Wascana Park; more on that closer to the dates.

Please join us to sing and strum on Saturday, April 12 at 2pm for the ukulele circle in Regina. All are welcome. Please invite friends.

The About page has details such as location, songbook, what to bring. Please bring indoor shoes / slippers and a warm sweater as our space can be a little cool.

Our fearless & fun Social Media manager, Rolf, has shared a song right from Hawaii. “For this month I brought us a wonderful Hawaiian song to play “E Huli Makou”. This song is popular for teaching first hula movements to children (and tourists), and the video is a nice version of the song and a class that has the moves right.“

If you wish to prepare ahead of time, here’s where to find tab & video:
– Our QCU Facebook Page has the pdf and link to video
– Song & Hula dance video – YouTube (no pressure to dance at our circle – LOL!!)
– You can download the song HERE. Just click “Download” on the right; no need to create an account. Then either save it to your device or print it off. 

Thanks Rolf!!

Looking forward to singing and playing with ya’ll.

Let’s sing some holiday songs and Christmas carols at our Dec 07 circle! (Please note this is the 1st Sat in Dec, not our usual 2nd Saturday.)

Our 2024 Holiday / Christmas Season Songbook (pdf) is mostly thanks to the BUGs group in Ottawa. We added a few songs our group has enjoyed in the past, as an addendum.

What’s fancy? You can click on a song title in the table of contents and it will take you right to that song in the book. On most of the song pages, you can click “back to song list” to get back to the ToC. No more searching and scrolling!

What’s not fancy? The addendum (which is still kinda fancy), was copied from my uke binder and has my scribbles. Hopefully you’ll find them helpful. 🙂 The extra songs were added in blue to the main table of contents – very unfancy but it keeps the songs in alphabetical order.

Please feel free to print your own copy of this 106 pg songbook or download it to your device. You don’t need a DropBox account – just look for the “download only” option.

As you know, the past few years have been challenging for many music circles as they rebuild, including the Queen City Ukes. Our group has been bumping around a little, in need of a new home since the fine folks at Sawchyn Guitars, our former home sweet home, retired.

We would like to extend a big thank you to the Uplands Community Association in Regina for offering us a space where we can meet to play and sing monthly! Please see our About Page for location details, our songbook and a few things to know.

Everyone of all ages and musical abilities is welcome to join us. It’s a safe and inclusive place whether you’re a complete beginner, someone comfortable with 5 chords, or an expert player.

We meet on the 2nd Saturday of every month, 2 – 4 pm.
