Who are Jam Packed Ukes?

We like to think of ourselves as an informal group of likeminded ukulele enthusiasts who enjoy all things that can be played on a ukulele, some of us even singalong.

Where and when do we meet? @September 2023

We enjoy weekly meet ups at Drax Sports and Social Club, Drax, Selby YO8 8PJ so we are easy to find just look out for the big cooling towers and the club is on the opposite side of the road. 

We meet every Tuesday at 1.00pm the first hour is a steady session when we look at songs from our '4 chord wonders' file. After our tea and biscuit break we continue and then have a finger picking session from 3.15pm. If you would like to give us a try please send an email to jampackedukes@gmail.com 

You don't need to be able to read music, lots of us don't however you will need to learn a few chords. We have lots and lots of tunes that only use 4 chords.

You can borrow a ukulele but ideally you can purchase a perfectly decent starter one for around £30. You will find that a Jam Packed person will be happy to advise you if you have any query about where to purchase. We all love our ukuleles very much. Please note that we use tablets for our music so you will need one that will download apps.

What do we play?

We play lots of popular songs from our happy files and we are always on the lookout for something new to add to our collection.

What other things do we do?

We play at functions for example weddings/anniversary parties, outdoor meetings etc. We will consider playing at any special and not so special event. We really enjoy entertaining folk and always do our very best to play whatever you wish. We do not charge for our time as we enjoy it so much, however we welcome donations to pass on to local charities.
