Having taken the double bass to the previous couple of singarounds at The Plough Inn in Thorpe Acre, I decided I’d go with the ukulele instead. Then, at the last minute, I decided to take the tuba along as well!
The tunes I led (all on uke) were Reynardine (another attempt at this British folk song), 20th Century Boy (simple glam rock although I added a couple of extra chords in the chorus) and Mona, which is great as a one chord song that everyone can join in with.
The tuba was difficult for playing along when I needed to figure out the chord progression or keep very subtle but grand for things like When the Saints Go Marching In. Root / fifth patterns with the occasional extra note and just throwing myself into it seemed to do the trick. It isn’t the ideal singaround instrument but I’ll probably take it again from time to time and try to keep progressing my skills.
