Festivals and other gigs

Our gig group consists of a core of ukulelists playing rhythm, riffs, and shredding solos, backed by bass and cajón and led by strong vocalists and lush harmonies. Many of our members are multi-instrumentalists, so expect a melodica, saxophone, or tin whistle to make an appearance. We lean into songs you wouldn’t expect on the ukulele, getting audiences dancing with our high-energy covers.

We customise sets to fit the event, from family-friendly afternoons to late-night sessions. We’re used to festival stages, tight changeovers, and shared equipment, but we’re also experienced setting up ourselves and can supply mics, stands, DI boxes or cables as needed.

A play-along session for your crowd

Every Tuesday, we fill a room with people playing along to songs on a big screen, and we’d love to bring that same craic to your festival or event! We are happy to lead a jam session or play-along as part of your festival.

This can be anything from a lightweight jam session to the full Tuesday experience with proper sound, face-melting solos, and a room playing and singing its head off.

We build a songbook for your event from our classics, pitched at your crowd, like the one we made for the Ukulele Hooley 2026. Attendees bring their own ukuleles.

Practical details
What to expect
Your crowd plays along on a big screen, from a minimal jam to full sound.
Set length
1 to 2 hours
You provide
A venue for any size of crowd, a screen or projector if you have one, and a word on how experienced your crowd is
We provide
A custom songbook pitched at your crowd, shown on screen, with printed songbooks or a projector on request

Live music for charity and community events

We also play smaller events where live music makes a difference, like charity fundraisers, community meetups, and Christmas concerts.

These are performed by members of the wider Ukulele Tuesday community. You’ll get a bigger, looser set with plenty of singing and a warm, informal tone rather than a polished show. It’s how our members share the session with their communities and give something back.

Practical details
What to expect
A big, informal group of our members, fully acoustic or projected through a PA.
Set length
Typical maximum 90 minutes
You provide
Somewhere to play
We provide
Our own minimal PA if the set needs amplifying
Cost
Usually free for charities and good causes
