A series of regular Ukulele events, showcasing different talent from the thriving North East community scene. Each month, a different local Ukulele band (and smaller offshoots of that band) will perform a set followed by an informal jam session led by the group. What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon?
So come along and bring your Uke or feel free to just listen, the choice is yours.
Sam Elliott
Well, what a treat we’re all in for today
Uke Elliott, also known as Sam Elliott, is a Newcastle based variety livestreamer that got his start online by documentating his journey to learn the ukulele. Starting in 2018, he now has over 100k followers. With tutorials, livestreams, subathons, and challenges, Sam continues to learn new songs everyday. Focusing on songs that you wouldn’t usually hear on the uke, Sam’s only aim is to try and make people smile on the internet.
