Visited Ferryside Men's Shed yesterday, they have a very productive workshop, one member is even making a guitar. When I popped in, late afternoon, a couple of members were just finishing some door wedges, getting ready for sale. They are situated next to the Community Centre at Ferryside, a very busy hub of activity for a small village.
Ukulele Tuition by Maesteg Ukulele Club
Club nights Monday 7:30pm - 9:30pm, Caerau Development Trust
Caerau Development Trust, Woodlands Terrace, Caerau, Maesteg, CF34 0SR
If you need help choosing a uke, we can give you some advise, the first being, ensure a low string height at both ends of the fret-board.
We have club ukuleles so that you can try a session with one of ours, before you buy. Practise sheets, chord sheets and song sheets will be provided.
All ages welcome, if you are at a loose end during the evening, want to get into some accompanied singing or want to join a uke club, come along and join us. You will soon be at a decent standard, the uke is a very easy instrument to learn, if you have 30 minutes practise time a day and some patience.
