NEXT UKE JOINT: Sunday 11th March 2007

WHERE: THE MUSIC ROOM (Upstairs at O’Neill’s, Entrance through pub)
73-77 Euston Road, London NW1
(Opposite The British Library & a stone’s throw from St. Pancras, Kings Cross and Euston Stations)

TIMINGS: Doors Open: 6.30pm,
Performances from 7.30pm - 10.30pm

WHAT: UKE JOINT is an open mike night for ukulele players and performers.

It is hoped that UKE JOINT will evolve into a fully fledged regular ukulele cabaret night.
Around these regular performance nights we would also like to facilitate an active London based Uke community creating opportunities for teaching, learning, socialising and exchanging ideas.

HOW MUCH: Only £3 for performers / £5 for spectators.

MUSIC POLICY: JAZZ, BLUES, HAWAIIAN, COUNTRY, BALLADS, SWING, ROCK 'N' ROLL, CONTEMPORARY, FOLK, SHOW SONGS, ROCK, POP, TIN PAN ALLEY, MUSIC HALL, REGGAE, CLASSICAL, PUNK, SOUL, FORMBY STYLE etc, etc....

We hope that UKE JOINT will reflect the diversity of ukulele based music and also create an opportunity for performers to showcase new material and explore new genres.

SMOKING POLICY: A few people, who have never been to Uke Joint, have asked about our policy regarding smoking. We do not operate a no smoking policy. We have found that only a small minority of people who come to Uke Joint smoke and the venue has powerful a air conditioning system. We have never received any complaints from non-smokers about the air quality at the venue or had any feedback suggesting that the level of smoke has adversely affected anyone's performance.

Of course, when the new laws come into force, Uke Joint will be non-smoking, but until that time people who want to indulge in the odd cigarette are as welcome as everyone else.

AGE RESTRICTIONS: The venue has a strict policy on under 18s. We would love to have younger players at Uke Joint but sadly we have to respect the venue's wishes.

The venue also has a policy that no dogs are allowed on the premises - SORRY!

PERFORMER INFORMATION

Performers/players should arrive between 6.30pm and 7.30pm.

Ukulele players at all levels are welcome to come along and participate.

We have decided to allocate 2 numbers per performer or a maximum of 10 minutes (if you only want to do one number - that's fine).

If there are a small number of performers then we will rotate and give the first performers a chance to play again.

Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

There will be a PA including monitors and mixing desk, 6 microphones and stands. We can therefore accommodate duos, trios etc.

For those with electric/amplified ukes, we will not provide a specific amp.

Some instruments may well be fine plugged directly into the PA, but you may need to provide your own DI box if you feel that is necessary. If you have a specific requirement then please call or email in advance to discuss.

We may also video some performances for use on the website, but we will ask your specific permission before either filming or broadcasting.

Please feel free to call or email directly should you have any questions.

If you wish to join the UKE JOINT mailing list for regular information and updates please send us your details. EMAIL HERE (Please put UKE JOINT in the subject heading).
