We are a Ukulele music group located within the village and as you will see from the photographs below, we have a wide range of ages within the group! We have been playing together since 2014, starting as few players around a kitchen table, and we now number approximatley 60 players! The group is the brainchild of John Scoble who generously gives his time to provide excellent tuition, music and leadership. As well as leading the Thornton Dale Ukuleles John provides tuition to schools and other groups.

News update ... we have now raised over £56,000 for Charity since the group was formed.

Meetings have started again (with COVID precaution), and we have started performing again for our 2022 season
Our first major show for 2022 was at The Milton Rooms on Thursday 12 May with all proceeds going to the Children of Ukraine.

It was a great success with over 200 in the audience.
