On Saturday morning (2nd April) the All About Uke ukulele group performed in Stafford Market Square to raise money for the British Red Cross Appeal for Ukraine. It was Ukes for Ukraine and here’s a video of us playing “Hi Ho Silver Lining”.
I was playing the bass ukulele and as there was no mains power I used my battery powered amp. Fortunately the amp has two channels, so I was able to also bring a microphone for our leader Rachel to use. We played a set list of songs from various genres such as country, rock’n’roll, pop and music hall. There was quite a crowd of people who stopped to listen whilst they were shopping in town.
We all really enjoyed performing and it was also worthwhile raising money for such a good cause.
