I can’t often make the Café Live events that Rob Newton hosts because they run monthly on Sunday evenings and I’m normally rehearsing with the Charnwood Symphonic Wind Orchestra. However, the next season for that doesn’t start until next week so I was able to make the trip down to Sileby Methodist to join in tonight.

I took the ukulele and started with my favourite 1920’s medley – Ain’t She Sweet / Five Foot Two / Yes Sir, That’s My Baby. All work very nicely on ukulele, including some tasty diminished chords. Next I did Bring Me Sunshine (not very well) and rounded my set off with a more successful version of I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free.

I also took the opportunity to do some sketching on my iPad – results maybe to follow later this week.
