Our meetings are FREE. All are Welcome! All Levels, All Ages.
Piazza Sant'Antonio Nuovo, 6 - Trieste - Italy
Loaner Ukes available for Meeting Days.
Our Meeting and WhatsApp language is English. Most songs are in English.
We are NOT experts. We learn and have fun together. Better Fun than Perfect.
We play versions of songs that are ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE, even the person who just started.
Our goal is to learn one song well each meeting.
If you are Advanced, you are welcome to play with us and then do an OPEN MIC of a song that you have been working on.
