Monthly ukulele jam session with the Weymouth Ukuleleans at The Kings Arms, where anyone with a ukulele is welcome to join in.
The Weymouth Ukuleleans are back at The Kings Arms on Thursday 5 November, one of their regular jam sessions. It's a night for anyone with a ukulele to bring it along and join in, but you don't have to play to get something out of it — there's plenty of live music to just sit back and listen to if that's more your speed.
The Ukuleleans are a group of like-minded people brought together by their shared enthusiasm for the ukulele. They formed in 2013 out of a series of Christmas busking events to raise money for local charities, and they've kept that going ever since. Over the years they've played at residential homes, schools, guide groups and community events, and they've appeared at local festivals including the Wessex Folk Festival, Camp Bestival in 2015 and Bestival in 2017. Their mantra, 'Strum for Fun', sums up the whole thing.
The jam sessions themselves are relaxed, musical evenings in one of the harbour's popular pub settings, with a warm welcome for players and for those who just want to soak up the live music. If you've got your own ukulele, you're welcome to bring it along and join in. If you're not a player, you can still come along and enjoy the atmosphere.

The session runs from 8pm to 10pm at The Kings Arms, 15 Trinity Road, Weymouth DT4 8TJ, in the Weymouth South Harbourside. It's held every first and third Thursday of the month, so if you can't make this one, there's usually another one coming up soon.
