Looking forward to singing and playing with ya’ll.

We hope to see you!!

Our next few circles:
– October 12th
– Nov 09th
– Dec 14th

We’ll continue meeting on the second Saturdays in 2025.

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.

Wednesday, July 1
11:30 AM – Meet and greet and check-in
Noon – Singing starts

We still aren’t able to meet in person, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get together virtually. Our friends at the Bytown Ukulele Group in Ottawa are hosting a Canada-wide Canada Day party on Zoom and we’re invited!

Ukulele club leaders from every province are each going to lead a song and I’ve been asked to represent Saskatchewan and the Queen City Ukes!

The event will take place on Zoom and there should be some free spots for members of other clubs. All the details and the list of songs are on their Facebook page and website.

Thank you, Sue and Mark, for pulling this all together!

I’ll miss meeting up with all of you, but your health has to be our top priority.

Stay safe and stay healthy!

If you have a few minutes, I’d appreciate it if you could fill it out.

Did you know we have 233 songs in our songbook! That’s a lot of great tunes! (And maybe a few not-so-great ones.)

Rather than add any new songs this month, lets revisit some of the forgotten gems in our archive.

For those too shy to shout out songs at the circle, send me your favourites and I’ll add them to the list.

And don’t forget, April is our 6th birthday and the annual open mic! Everyone is welcome to try their hand in front of the group.

Thanks to everyone who sent in family song suggestions. I’m sorry we couldn’t get to all of them.

• * The Early Days — Old Man Luedecke (2015)
• * We Are Family — Sister Sledge (1979)
• * Keep on the Sunny Side — Ada Blenkhorn (1899), Carter Family (1928)
• Cats in the Cradle — Harry Chapin (1974)

Valentine’s Day gets all the love (appropriately, perhaps), but February also brings us Family Day. Send in your favourite songs about family or from famous musical families.

There were lots of great suggestions at the last circle, but please send an email or leave a note in the Facebook group so they don’t get missed.
