Ukulele Workshop with Manitoba Hal

Come join us on Wednesday, July 2, for a ukulele workshop led by the accomplished blues musician Hal Brolund, also known as Manitoba Hal. Hal will introduce you to playing blues on ukulele, using some 3-chord songs, examining variations in structure and style. This is suitable for beginners, however, more intermediate players will also learn from the workshop. I've been to a couple of his workshops, and I recommend them highly.

The workshop will take place July 2 at 7:30pm at the historic Royal Tavern, 344 Princess Street, in Kingston. The cost is $25 per person. Please pay in advance. You may pay either via PayPal, or e-mail me at hans@boldts.net to make other arrangements to pay. To pay via PayPal, click on the following link:

Update: We now have a full house. No more registrations will be accepted. Your seat is guaranteed if you've already paid, or you've e-mailed me with your promise to pay on Wednesday. I'll send out a reminder a few days before the workshop.

Be sure to arrive early. Note that there's usually free parking available on Princess Street. Or park for free in the lot at the back off Brock Street, just past Clergy Street. Park in the lot on the right immediately past the fire station. Click here for a map. For those coming from out of town, exit Highway 401 at Division Street, drive south, and turn left on Princess Street. The Royal is a block and a half from Division, on the right, just past Barrie Street.

Following the workshop, you may stay for the usual ukulele jam hosted by the Kingston Ukulele Society, which meets twice a month at the Royal Tavern. Then, you can practice your newly learned skills with the others.

Cheers! Hans
