***NO UKE CIRCLE VICTORIA DAY (MAY 20)***
Founded in October 2013 and inspired by the world-famous Corktown Ukulele Jam. A fun, low-pressure environment where you can play and sing with a group of like-minded uke enthusiasts. All skill levels welcome! We meet (nearly) every Monday from 7:30 pm to 9:30ish upstairs at The Olde Stone Cottage Pub (3750 Kingston Rd. at the corner of Scarborough Golf Club Rd.). Arrive early to get a good seat and a beverage! Admission is $5. |

Scarborough Uke Jam alternates between two formats:
Workshop: An opportunity to learn new songs. Our fearless leader (music teacher extraordinaire Paul Butters) and The Hardest Working Ukulele Rhythm Section In Southeast Scarborough on a Monday Night™ take you through a wide selection of tunes from yesterday and today (but not tomorrow, at least not until we buy that time machine.) The workshop is followed by the friendliest open stage in the GTA.
Circle: An 'open' jam style night using the Scarborough Uke Jam back catalog of charts. A more casual kind of session: no amplification, no workshopping new tunes, mainly just ukes rather than a full rhythm section. If you have a song to share with the group, bring a bunch of copies!
