Last night I joined the “All About Uke” ukulele group to play a gig at a wedding as the evening entertainment. The venue was Shallowford House which is set in the countryside near Stafford.
It was a most enjoyable evening with an interesting set list of a wide variety of songs. For example, there was a number of songs on the theme of love and romance, however the wedding party had specifically requested some songs which contained audience participation. So our set list ended with “The Birdie Song”, “Agadoo”, the “Hokey Cokey” and “YMCA”. The dance floor was full of wedding guests dancing away and joining in with the actions enthusiastically, so much so that we had to do a couple of encores on “The Birdie Song”. It was great fun and certainly a night to remember.
