Hello - Bad Mouse Orchestra at Ukulele Hooley
We are on the countdown to the 2024 Ukulele Hooley. Let’s meet this years performers.
The Bad Mouse Orchestra is a German ukulele and guitar trio playing swing and jazz tunes from the 1920s to 40s. Playing instruments as old as the songs themselves and always dressed in high waisted pants and flat caps or boater hats, they revive the sound of the small, hidden bars and speakeasies of prohibition time America in which Shimmy and Charleston were danced until the early hours.

Must do workshop; The Magic of Roy Smeck with Charlotte Pelgen
Roy Smeck was a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist and ukulele player who, especially in the 1920s and 30s, developed many playful strumming techniques and tricks that never failed to amaze and delight his audiences. In his career spanning over many decades Roy Smeck proved that the ukulele is far more than just the toy instrument many people believed it to be, while at the same time teaching us to never take ourselves too seriously and to have some fun with our instrument.
In this workshop you will learn some of his show elements with which you can enrich and spice up your playing and surprise your audience.
Suitable for all skill levels except for total beginners.
Workshop at 10:30am, dlr LexIcon
Workshop takes place on Saturday 24th and costs €19.

12th Street Rag Workshop - Ukulele Uff
As I’m sure many of you are well aware twelfth street rag lends itself beautifully to our little four stringed friend and has been a staple part of many great ukulele player’s repertoire since the 1920s and still today.
It is a piece of music that seems to have endless possibilities and plenty of room to elaborate and make your own.
This was one of the first pieces of music I ever learnt on the ukulele and is still one of my favourites to play.
In this workshop I will teach you how to play twelfth street rag and you will receive a print out with chords and instructions.
We will also however, look at how and where we can embellish this wonderful tune.
We will experiment with triplets, thumb rolls and split strokes within the piece.
If you already know these techniques, it will be a great opportunity to maybe learn how to utilise them more effectively.
Hope to see you there!
