ABOUT US

We are a husband and wife team who over the past 11 years have been playing with other ukulele groups, SUSBUS near Bournemouth, Poole ukulele club, Dorset Strummers and Strummers XChurch.

Bashukers, Yeovil ukulele club. Budliegh Salterton, Lyme Regis Luggers. Frome Ukulele Festival. 

We thought it would be good to have a local ukulele group, hopefully to bring the local towns and villages together to strum in time.

​

We have already had a very successful start to MUSK with 46 members.

We have now entered the 11th year of Musk.

Welcome to our new members.

Our solo spots are very popular with no shortage of players.

The evening is planned for all to join in, play and sing along, from the song book, with solo spots for anyone that wishes to play a song of their own or from the song book.  You can download all of our songs including updates and our Christmas song book.

Be prepared you will need over 130 sheets of paper, please only print on one side, as songs are best kept in alphabetical order.

 

We have a reputation for playing for charities and residential homes.
