Hi DUGs,
Just a quick email this week, basically repeating last week's information about Town Break Dementia and BraveUke details.
I'm not publishing a playlist this week. Once we have run through the five BraveUke songs, we will just pick some favourites from the song book.
(I may have something new to introduce, depending on how much time I have between now and tomorrow's meeting!)
If you can make it to the Dementia Group performance tomorrow, I would be very grateful.
Also, just a reminder, for those who can make it, the BraveUke folk will be meeting at 6.30, one last time!
Town Break Dementia - Wednesday 30 April 2025
2.00 - 4.00 pm
Lesley from Town Break sent me this message:
The usual schedule is play 2 to 2.35pm, then we have afternoon tea and back through to the hall for the second half at 3.15 / 3.20 to 4pm. The second half is usually when people like to get up and dance, although we do encourage it throughout the afternoon. 😊 Hope the schedule will be ok with you and the band.
Basically - two sets!
I'm A Ukulele Player
Feelin' Groovy
Bring Me Sunshine
Top Of The World
Jambalaya
Country Roads
I’m Leaning on a Lamppost
Wild Mountain Thyme
Loch Lomond

So, if we can get there for a 2pm start. The address is:
North Parish Church, 70 Springfield Road, Stirling, FK7 7QW.
BraveUke - Friday-Sunday, 2-4 May
There will be 12 of us on stage for the Friday evening performance.
We will also have Sarah (Ukulele Saz) on cajon, and her bass player, as well as a couple of her group members to help out.
There will be microphones/amplification. We will use our own music stands (this means we can have our DUG banners on display).
Andy Thompson has asked us to try and get there as early as possible .
He will be there from about 16.15 in the afternoon to set out the hall, registration starts at 17.00.
Andy Webster will be starting the entertainment from 19.00 /19.15.
We are the next act on after Andy. Times haven't been finalised yet, but he will probably do about 30 minutes to welcome people, play a few songs, etc.
So, I expect we will be starting between 19.30 and 19.45.
As you know, we will have 20-25 minutes, including getting on and off stage. Our setlist will be spot on.
I'll let you know more when I get final confirmation.
