Welcome to Ukulele Bedford
We are a community ukulele group based (oddly enough!) around the Bedford area. We meet weekly at The Kings Arms (24 St Mary’s Street, Bedford MK42 OAS) on Wednesdays at 7.30pm, and 'play out' quite regularly. We are always delighted to see new members - so come along one evening and give it a try!
Always wanted to play an instrument? Try the ukulele! We welcome anyone, with any level of experience or expertise.
Just learning? Come on in. Been playing for years? Welcome - we'd love to benefit from your talents.
All you need is enthusiasm - we can even lend you a ukulele for the evening!
The short answer to that is "Anything the members of the group want to!". From 1930's tin-pan alley to jazz standards. From 60's novelty pop to 90's rock to last year's hits. Admittedly, when we try them we find that some things work better than others on massed ukuleles - but just trying to play the seemingly unsuitable can be great fun. And sometimes surprisingly successful.
Members old and new are always encouraged to select songs they'd like to try playing.
November 2026; New Song Book Released!
After numerous updates and play throughs, BrunfStrum 7 is now available on the Music page or just click HERE. There are over 140 new tunes submitted all of which were submitted by our members. As always it is an electic (and probably eccentric!) selction. Hope you enjoy it!
About 'News'
As you'll have noticed, we don't update this 'News' section very regularly and neither do we update the 'News' page any more. We tend to keep in contact and provide our weekly roundups via Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ukulelebedford (for those that use it) or by email for those that don't. There is also a WhatsApp group for members. So if you want to know what is happening either join the FB group or send us a message and ask to be added to the mailing list.
