Fortnightly ukulele strumalong for all abilities at the Lord Nelson pub, where anyone can lead a song.
The HOT (Hastings Old Town) Ukulele Group are back at the Lord Nelson on Friday 6 November, their fortnightly strumalong that runs from 8:00pm to 11:00pm. It's a casual session rather than a formal gig, and the whole point is that you're part of it: players bring along printed copies of the songs they love to play together, and anyone who fancies it can lead a song on the night. All players and all abilities are welcome, so you don't need to be a pro to join in.
If you're not playing, you're still welcome to come and listen. The night is built around the group's shared love of the ukulele, and since the songs are chosen by the people in the room, the setlist changes from one session to the next. It's a social thing as much as a musical one, and because it's a strumalong, the energy comes from everyone playing at once rather than a single act on a stage.
The Lord Nelson is a Hastings pub that takes its name from Admiral Lord Nelson, a figure of British naval history. It's a regular spot for live music in the town, and it also hosts children's activities, festivals and carnivals, so it's used to a wide range of crowds. The pub is at 1 East Bourne Street, Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 3DP.
