On Thursday June 2, 2022, we lower the tempo to sing lullabies to put you to sleep. It may seem unusual that we choose this theme because we usually play upbeat songs on our ukuleles. During the pandemic, we discovered that the ukulele can sound beautiful when played softly and slowly. The gentle sound of a mother singing to her baby or a husband singing to his wife can rock you into a deep slumber.
DRESS CODE: getting ready for bed? pyjamas or something loose fitting and comfy.
