Hi DUGs,
Workshop - Wednesday, 20th May
This week will be the second of Sarah's 2026 Workshop Sessions.
In the first session, we concentrated on two songs - Whistle for the Choir and Sweet Child O' Mine, focusing on the chords and chord progressions for both. I have attached Sarah's worksheet/song sheet for Sweet Child O' Mine.
In this session, Sarah will also be working on Aztec Camera's Somewhere In My Heart with us. We've played this through a couple of times, but I know Sarah will be introducing some of her 'twinkly chords'.
Sarah's worksheet/song sheet for this one is also attached.
All the worksheets, notes, and video links are in the Members' Area of the website: 2026 Workshops
Just a reminder - WORKSHOPS ARE OPEN TO MEMBERS ONLY
Doune Music Night
A big thanks to the eight members performed at the Music Night, t was a great success. The performance was not without its challenges. We didn't have out usual finger-pickers for the arpeggios and solos, and we had none of our lady singers. Also, like last year, the stage set up was difficult, particularly the lighting. But we managed fine, and put on a good show. We were well received by the audience, and the organisers have sent their thanks to the DUGs for our support.
I did manage to get a video of our performance. For those who are interested, I'll share it once it is processed (it's at the back of quite a long queue, but I will do my best!).
DUG Song Sheets
Now that we are no longer using printed song sheets at our meetings, all new songs will be put on the website, rather than attached to these emails. If you want to practice any of our songs, you can view/download all our songs here: Our Songs
