The end of my Adopt a Composer Journey

It has been a long and rewarding project with the Lincoln Ukulele Band as part of the 2015-16 Adopt a Composer scheme.

The performance is upon us!

The performance of my piece ‘Ukulele Fantasy’ by The Lincoln Ukulele Band is fast approaching.

Working on the piece

My Ukulele playing hasn't developed much since last time but I have learnt enough to help refine my piece and even join the band, even if only on a few chords, when the band is playing songs.

Discovering the Ukulele – back to basics.

This blog post has been a long time coming as it was put on pause while I have been finishing my PhD.

Meeting The Lincoln Ukulele Band

On 26th September I drove to Lincoln to meet the whole of The Lincoln Ukulele Band in their usual rehearsal space and to see and hear them in action. I found the room just as Catherine had said, next to the fish monger section at the back of a large supermarket in a community room.
