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
- Cost
- On enquiry

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
