WELCOME TO SCARBOROUGH UKES!
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 Monday evenings upstairs at The Olde Stone Cottage Pub (3750 Kingston Rd. at the corner of Scarborough Golf Club Rd.). Check the calendar to confirm when we are at the bar. Arrive early to get a good seat and a beverage!

We have two different formats:
Scarborough Uke Jam/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™ (featuring Paul Bailie, Matthew Bartram and Jay Moonah) 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. Each jam begins with the song Sing Together and ends with We’re Here For A Good Time. We workshop 2-3 new tunes, followed by review of the songs we learned at the previous jam, open mic and charts you choose from our extensive catalogue. 7:45-9:15ish pm. Cover: $10 -- cash is preferred, Interac eTransfer available on request. To find the review tunes and much more, please visit the Songs/Charts page for all our charts. (Review tunes are marked "NEW!") Scarborough Uke Circle An open jam style using our back catalogue of charts, charts from other groups, or make your own! Think: A night of requests! A more casual kind of session: no amplification, no workshopping new tunes, mainly just ukuleles (and maybe a shaker) rather than a full rhythm section. Have a song to share with the group? E-mail a link or chart by the day before to [email protected]! 7:30-9ish pm. Cover: $5-- cash is preferred, Interac eTransfer available on request. |
