......

M.U.K., the Melbourne Ukulele Kollective, was formed in April 2004 to provide a vehicle for the large number of ukulele players that reside in Melbourne, both amateur and professional, to perform and exchange ukulele related information, tunes, etc. Our aim has always been to be an open group, inclusive of all styles of music, age and experience and to be welcoming to all that wish to participate on any level.

The Big Ukulele Band (BUB), which began in August ’04, is indicative of these ideals, with over forty members ranging from eight years of age to the very senior with broad backgrounds of musical experience. Our songs range from the early years of uke and it’s home in the islands to folk, country, disco and rock.

The debut performance of the Big Ukulele Band was in Sept. ’04 as part of the Darebin Music Feast and in October ’04 performed at the Melbourne Fringe Festival, winning the award for Best Family Event. Since our first performances, many audience members have been drawn to the uke, often with little or no experience in playing a musical instrument and we have provided them with both instruction in how to play ukulele and basic music theory, as well as the opportunity to perform with the BUB.

We also run KLUB MUK, the first Tuesday of each month at 303 (303 High St. Northcote), where all ukers can get up and do their thang. 7-11pm, free.

Let There Be Uke!!!
