What happened to the Dulwich Ukulele Club?

[SingingWilks]

As it says on the tin really!

Really love this band but haven't heard of them in a while. Their last Facebook and Twitter posts were late last year and there's no upcoming gigs on their Myspace page. I miss them!

[seLondon]

did you get any replies to this?

Perhaps they felt less unique once they realised that every middle class person in the western world now owns a bloody ukulele.

They'll probably reform as the Dulwich kazoo Orchestra until that becomes the next trend.

[Jah Lush]

They split up. Amicably I believe.

Thank the Lord

why "thank the lord"? because a bunch of people were enjoying themselves but presumably that isn't relevant if they aer middle class??

Disappointing to hear such judgemental comments here, I thought it was more accepting than I am seeing.

[KidKruger]

It's a bit of a generalisation because some of the little people also have ukuleles.

[Otta]

I should just be pleased that so many people are taking an interest in making some music, but something about the ukulele thing really winds me up. It's like everyone watched a few episodes of The Royale Family and thought "how charming, a family sing song".

Generally any craze which makes people want to pick up an instrument is a good thing in my book. But was never really on board with the ironic tweeness of the whole ukelele thing.

[Otta]

Exactly.

Put better than I put it.

could not agree more jeremy

That's a shame, loved their twist on ska!
