The
Gloucestershire Ukuladies
A little bit about ourselves...
The Gloucestershire Ukuladies came into being in February 2013, when the chance came to perform at a local Ukulele festival in the Forest of Dean as an all female group - the main aim was to give us girls a chance to perform in our own right and to have a little fun along the way. Despite a few nerves, our performance was so well received that night, we decided to carry on and haven't looked back since.. We play a wide repertoire of well known songs and try to make them our own, through a combination of ever-expanding range of ukuleles, singing styles, actions and audience participation. Our fee is modest although coffee and cake is also welcome!
From classic hits by ELO and the Beatles to toe-tapping jazz tunes, their repertoire spanned across genres, ensuring that there was something for everyone to enjoy... their genuine warmth and connection with the audience left a lasting impression...we will definitely be seeing the Ukuladies again.

Wow, what great entertainment the Ukuladies gave us...many Christmas songs and music played with perfection...members joined in singing and some even dancing...members of the band all had friendly personalities and came over with smiles and jokes...a great time was had by all members...would not hesitate in having a return visit by this band again.

Thank you and your wonderful group for the wonderful Christmas entertainment you gave us last Friday. Everybody loved it. The music and singing, the jokes, the quiz and also the information about ukuleles and their different sizes and sounds. It really was the start of Christmas.
