2013 L&M Uke Club "Press"


Ukulele club facilitates inclusive learning

"Logue is currently the store's lesson coordinator but advocated the creation of a ukulele club prior to finding employment with Long & McQuade."

Subject: Ukulele Club Launched in Guelph!
For Immediate Release (and for Event Listings)

A newly formed Uke Club will host its second gathering on February 23, 1pm at L&M Guelph at 30 Arrow Rd (at Woodlawn), and will be hosted by Gayle Ackroyd (photo by Kim Logue attached).

Bring your uke (or borrow one) to join in this friendly, informal group session! Seating is limited so an RSVP is recommended by email to guelphlessons@long-mcquade.com or by phone at 519-763-6709. The small fee of $6 will be requested of attendees.

The uke is as popular today as it has ever been. Interested parties of all ages and skill levels are invited to get together in a song circle to celebrate an instrument that is easy (especially to play and sing at the same time), portable, and fun!

At the first meeting, on January 26th, 2013, 16 participants with ukes gathered (photo by Kim Logue attached), sharing simple tunes from You Are My Sunshine, to Freight Train, to some original tunes from fellow participants, including local celebrity Ian Reid who stopped in to perform and lead others in his song "Starfish."
