Westelele is back on September 16th, 1pm at the Westport Townhall Theatre after a 3 year hiatus. The core of the group have been connecting on our WhatsApp group waiting in anticipation for our return. And now it’s here!
Beginners and advanced players are both welcome to attend so please email us at info@westelele.ie for more details. Over 16s only until we can organise the return of the children’s class.
Prices are 10 euro per class or 50 euro for the 6 week course.
Every Saturday at 2pm in the Town Hall Theatre Westport members of Westelele gather to learn new songs, techniques and chords.
We have between 15 and 20 enthusiastic Uke players who will come and go due to various reasons, which in turn can disrupt the flow of rehearsals.
So we are now putting out the call to anyone who would like to be part of a wonderful musical collective to pop along to see our tutor David at 1.30pm, 30 mins before each class to answer any queries or to get help in choosing an instrument.
All our chords, songs etc or on the website to peruse or download, this will help you to catch up with the rest of the group.
We have plans throughout the year including workshops and a visit to other Uke groups and festivals. Hopefully we can have our own festival in the future.
Aloha/Sláinte,
A big thank to all the attendees at the inaugural meeting of ‘Westelele’ in helping to establish and create our new orchestra here in Westport, Co.Mayo.
The standard of musicianship was really good and we are excited to move forward to create this great community project.
We must apologise for the genuine mix up in rooms which was entirely out of everybodys’ hands. We hope those who couldn’t make it, will join us next week. We also want to thank Rosaleen and the gang at Westport Town Hall Theatre for the facilities and generosity in getting our project up and running.
If anyone would like a copy of the hand-out please go to Lessons page and you can save the PDF. Don’t worry as we will continually go over each lesson in future classes.
A big thank you also to Collins Music Store in bringing ukeleles and accessories for the participants to try out. We must stress that you will need to bring your own ukulele to further meetings and if you have difficulty in getting one or need help in purchasing an instrument then please email us here at info@westelel.ie or ring 086 8752070 and we can try to help you out.
This class is for all participants and any ideas for future songs etc will be favourably accepted. We want everyone to enjoy playing and performing the ukulele. Please also spread the word to anyone you may think would enjoy joining our group.
The next meeting will take place at 2pm -3pm on Saturday December 1st at The Town Hall Theatre Westport on the 2nd Floor – a notice will be in placed on the ground floor.
Each session will cost €10 or €5 euro for Students and OAPs.
Looking forward to strumming with you.
