Wednesday, January 24

We’ll be performing at the Touchmark Wedgewood facility (Memory Care Unit) from 2:00-3:00 P.M. on Wednesday, January 24 at 18323 Lessard Rd NW. Memory Care is through the front entrance, and you will need to be buzzed in. We aim to set up at 1:45.

Any ukulele player is welcome to join us to perform with the group at this engagement. Chairs are provided, bring your own stand and at least your yellow book.

We’ll be playing songs selected from repertoire lists 8 and 9 (click to see them) and tunes chosen by the players who attend.

Hope to see you there!

Last Minute World Ukulele Day Shirts, 2018

~ firefly ~ Leave a comment

Want one of these?


Your wish is my command — yes, we’ll have shirts this year. I’ll be placing the order in time for World Ukulele Day (February 2)

  • Is it sold by the Edmonton Ukulele Circle?  Nope, same as last time, these items are designed and produced and offered by a Circle member to you.
  • When will I get it?  On or before February 2.
  • Is it the same brand of shirt as last time? Yes. This shirt is ROYAL BLUE in colour; standard order is a unisex short sleeve Gildan heavyweight cotton, sizes S-M-L-XL-2XL-3XL. Cost is $30, payable by e-transfer. A small number of common sizes will be made available for the naked or the late or the impulse shopper.
  • Can you special-request ladies or youth sizes? How about unisex 4XL and 5XL? Yeah, I got your back. You can also ask about other sizes, and you will be accommodated if they are available. These special requests must be prepaid by e-transfer, however, as they will not be ordered unless they have a happy home to go to.
  • Why is it last minute? Ideally, this would have been decided and arranged earlier, but it was not.
  • What else you got goin’ on? I am already stylishly dressed! I have tote bags tough enough to carry both Daily Ukulele books, plus carry your kazoo and your water bottle, in two different designs. I have strings, of many varieties in soprano, concert, and tenor (baritone sold out). I still have Hipster Owl shirts from last year, also. (People who were interested in a reorder and did not pick up or contact me — I probably still have your shirt. If you want it, let me know, or I’ll free them for sale to others on February 2!)
