Although some may argue that the very existence of a ukulele is an effective social distancing tool (hey, at least it’s not bagpipes!) for regular participants in the Mondays alternating Scarborough Uke Jam open mic and Song Circle sessions at Olde Stone Cottage it’s a unifying device.
These days, of course, it’s not possible for the crowd of uke-playing jammers to gather in the stately old edifice on Kingston Road for the 7:30-9 sessions, so the events have gone virtual.
To watch or participate you’ll need to be a member of the SUJ Facebook group. I guess it helps if you also own a ukulele but I know from first-hand experience that this is not required. And you may find yourself amazed by the versatility and musical prowess that some players display on the little instrument.
Tonight organizer Jay Moonah will host a “live ‘watch party’ jam” on Facebook to which videos can be uploaded to the group by members ahead of time. Next week he co-ordinates a Uke jam on the Zoom platform and so on until the COVID isolation protocols end and the bar can reopen.
When you visit the event page for tonight’s “gathering” on Facebook there’s also some details about the best way to view the show.
In lieu of the small cover charge usually levied for physical participation in the real, Jay is asking for donations to be made to the serving staff of the bar, by sending an e-transfer to [email protected].
