Hello

 

Please could you add us to the mailing list. We're hoping to start Loughton Folk Club sessions in the autumn and hope to include a regular Ukulele session if there is sufficient interest - I'll keep you posted but wonder if you know anyone else we should keep posted.

  

Regards, Jim Coombes
