Taunton Ukulele Strummers Club (TUSC)

Morning Peeps.

Just a quickie to remind everyone that next Monday’s TUSC club night WILL NOT be at the Constitutional Club but hopefully a different venue (thanks Ged).

Following the funeral of a much beloved member of the Bishop’s Hull community a wake will be held at the Club from around 5pm with more than 100 mourners expected. The Club has asked us to not be there as there will be very limited space and the wake is expected to go on into the evening. OK, back to the Coco Pops…

UPDATE at 09:51 04/07/18 – The club will meet on this occasion at the Taunton United Reformed Church, 18 Paul St, Taunton TA1 3PF.

Dear Worrier of the Mighty Uke…turn off the FIFA TM World Cup sponsored by McDonalds and read this…

THIS SATURDAY! GIG! GIG YOURSELF SILLY!

Ahem.

It is Churchstanton Summer Fete and here is the gig book.

I thank you.

Lots of fete facts here.

Lawks a Lordy it’s the Sampford Brett Gig Book.

Get it here. It’s got everything you need. Including the as-yet unfound reason for the upcoming revised version.

Haaaaa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!

(Bit rushed. Hence feeble quality picture! x)

Uke Geeks is a set of free ukulele song editing tools that convert “plain text” lyrics and chord names into easy-to-read songsheets with clear chord diagrams (“fingering charts”) and provides you lots of customization options. So, rather than reading this boring description why not test drive the editor?

Holy Cow, this IS what you have always dreamed of. See for yourself.

Goodness gracious me, Jim Carey has updated his 2000+ song songbook for ukulele. You can get it from his amazing website here in pdf form.

(Though if you are online it is worth looking at them on his website because you can transpose any song into any key, change the chord diagrams if you are left-handed, change what instrument you are using etc. It’s a real piece of work.)

Friends. Barbarians. Uke Players. Residents of Burrowbridge. We has a gig.

TUSC vs Burrowbridge vs Somerset Day

Saturday 12th May 2018
Burrowbridge Coronation Hall, West Yeo Road, Burrowbridge, Bridgwater TA7 0RH
8pm for an 8.45 start or tharabouts

On Saturday 12th May 2018, Somerset Day, in that there (SRo) Burrowbridge, will climax to the moans, groans and plucked g-strings of the World Famous^TM TUSC.

Although there a great many things going on that weekend none will be greater or more sweetly smelling than TUSC in uproarious feverishness climaxing Somerset Day.

The organisers want us to be the climax of festivities in Burrowbridge so those that can will. Join us dear uke player, you are Burrowbridge’s only hope…May the 4th be with you.

Gig book yer. (Updated version 05/05/18))

Woo-hoo! Thanks to possibly some initial miscommunication, then my inability to leave a nagging issue alone without constantly worrying at it, and then Tony-Wrangler-Of-The-Tech kindly patching my personal shortcomings, Book Zero now has a contents page you can click to jump straight to the song you want, and if your PDF reader shows bookmarks – which it does – all the songs show up there too.

It’s great. This is version 7. The cover has blue writing. If yours is different then it won’t support this sorcery.

Update your Book Zero here.

Iteration Six of the nebulous Book Zero is now on the Songbooks page.

And here:

What’s new? Bill Maynard died. Oh, and there are now bookmarks embedded in the document (though not from the contents page cos I can’t work out how to do that), and Say A Little Prayer is included.
