Buckingham Ukulele Group
Formed in 2014, our friendly band of ukulele enthusiasts play an eclectic mix of songs from across the decades. Backed by a cajón, bass ukulele and the occasional kazoo, the group covers anything from The Beatles to The Zutons and is definitely a great party band! There’s something for everyone. We love performing and our enthusiasm and sense of fun shines through wherever we go.
The band is available for bookings. Please see the contact page if you would like to get in touch.

Towersey Festival 2024 Here We Come! Good news! We're off to Towersey Festival again this year. It's always wonderful to be a part of this great event, particularly this year as Towersey celebrates its 60th birthday. We'll be performing in The Hub on Sunday, 25th August. For tickets and more information click here. March 2024 - We're Celebrating Our 10th Anniversary!
Yes, ten years ago (on 20th March 2014) our group met for the very first time. It's been an amazing adventure learning to play a new instrument, gaining in confidence as we became more experienced and discovering the absolute joy of performing to an audience. We've made new friends, met many wonderful people along the way and, most importantly, had so much fun! A massive thank you to the wonderful Sue for setting up the group all those years ago. We hope we've done you proud. Here's to the next ten years!

Certificate of Appreciation!
We were certainly kept busy in June and July with a wide variety of gigs These included community events, such as Celebrate Buckingham, as well as private parties, club socials and charity fundraisers. There have also been plenty of summer fetes, as you would expect at this time of year, including Buckingham Primary School & Nursery's Family Fun Day. An amazing £7,500 was raised and we were very pleased to be able to play our part. Well done to all involved and thank you for the Certificate of Appreciation! 
Busk for the Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal (March 2023) A big thank-you to everyone who came along to support us at our fundraising busk in town and for braving the cold weather. Brrr! Once again the local community showed its amazing generosity, with just over £400 being donated towards the DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal. Thank you, Buckingham! And thank you to the Bucks Herald and Buckingham & Winslow Advertiser for the great coverage. Read more 
We are not usually ones to blow our own trumpet (or should that be kazoo!) but, much to our surprise, we were honoured to receive the Buckingham Town Council’s Art and Sport Award 2022 “in recognition of the exceptional and outstanding contribution to the local community through enhancing the cultural life in Buckingham”. How amazing to be rewarded for doing something that we love. It’s good to know that ukulele playing counts as a sporting activity too!
