Crieff Community Music
Crieff Ukulele Group
Location St Andrews Halls
Day/Time Friday, 6-7pm
Latest update 18 Jan 26 10pm

Crieff Ukulele Group (CUG) is a local bunch of enthusiasts who meet and build up a repertoire of music with the intention, eventually, of performing in the local community. Our first priority, however, is to have fun.

The ukulele was my first instrument as an eight-year-old boy, so I was delighted when some people in my home town expressed an interest in starting up a class. The CUG has now been going for six years, and has performed at local venues.

Music

Each meeting we look at a particular song in detail, then we play through some more familiar songs; see the list below to see what's scheduled for when. The songs that we play are arranged in a number of sets consisting of ten songs per set. To access individual songs or multiple sets, visit the CUG Sets page.
