We did the Fab Four a couple of months ago, so let’s honour the recent passing of Peter Tork by celebrating the music of the Pre-Fab Four.

Send in your favourite songs from Peter, Davy, Micky and Michael.

April’s circle: Our 5th anniversary

Next circle: Tuesday, April 2
7–9 PM
Sawchyn Guitars, 2132 Dewdney Avenue, Regina

Holy cow! Half a decade of strumming and singing!

If we were a child, we’d be starting school. If we were a cheese, we’d be one of those fancy ones in the special deli cooler.

I’m not preparing any new music, but you can! We’ll start the evening with an open mic, play a few of our favourites and we’ll finish the night across the street at Bushwakkers.

A quick public service announcement. With the cold, cold air that’s been hanging over the province, don’t forget to protect your ukuleles! All ukuleles can dry out and crack, but those with solid tops are especially vulnerable. An instrument humidifier is a worthwhile investment to keep your uke happy for years to come.

February’s circle: Love me do

Next circle: Tuesday, February 5, 2019

Someone asked for love songs. Someone else asked for Beatles songs. Why not both?! Send in your favourite from the Fab Four and/or one that makes your heart go pitter-patter.

Don’t forget! April 2 is our 5th anniversary circle and we will have our traditional open mic. Anyone who wants to take a solo or perform as a group is invited to share a favourite song.

Also, dues for the year are now, well, due. It’s only $10 and helps cover our costs such as renting space at Malty National.

Speaking of which, thanks again to our friends at Malty National for hosting January’s circle. We had a really big crowd and I hope to see you all at Sawchyn Guitars in February!
