A newly-formed ukulele group has struck a chord in Warkworth.
Musician and convenor Sue Robertson, or Sukulele as she prefers to be known, is now involved with not one, but two, groups – the Summerleles Riverside Ukulele based at the Old Masonic Hall and the Summerleles at Summerset Retirement Village.
Sue says the club is “blossoming into a local entity” with people coming to play from as far away as Mangawhai. A total of 27 people joined the first sessions at the start of the year, but Sue says she would like to see the numbers increase.
The group is booked to make its debut appearance at the Warkworth RSA during the Kowhai Festival in October.
Sue hopes to also organise ukulele trips to Geraldine and even possibly Norfolk Islands later this year.
New members are welcome. The cost is $5 and participants need to supply their own instrument. Playing times are once a month, with the next session on Friday April 15, from 5pm-7pm, at the Masonic Hall.
