December Ukulele Night is scheduled for December 11 from 6:30 – 9:00 at Charlie’s Pub and Eatery. We will have a Christmas holiday sing along, so bring the kids, bring a friend, bring your voice and sing along. Come early and have dinner

All of the songs that we will do are on the website. At the top of this page you will find a link to two Christmas song books.

Sing & play Christmas songs with friends and family at home & you’ll be the hit of the gathering or perhaps you’ll get ejected out into the snow.

Here’s a link to some
