Publisher's Synopsis
This is a true story about mature men and women falling in love .... with the Ukulele. Six years ago a handful of bored retirees conceived and gave birth to a ukulele group - this is the tongue-in-cheek, laugh out loud story of that ukulele group - The Stokes Bay Strummers. All the events took place in the South of England. Some names have been changed to protect the innocent and some events may or may not have been exaggerated. There's now hundreds of community ukulele groups across the UK and this story will be familiar to all of them. Take away the ukuleles and this could be the story of a choir, a knitting group, an archaeology group, or any other meeting of like minded seniors filling time, chasing dreams, having lots of fun and raising money for local charities.Feedback for 'Retire -get a Ukulele'.......An excellent read - laugh out loud, funny and heart warming.If you are in a uke group you will love this book; If you are not in a uke group you will want to be after reading this - great fun.You don't have to be retired or into the ukulele to enjoy this book - all you need is a sense of humour!A fun and inspirational book, It mixes great British humour with real life experiences showing that the determination and vision of a small group with a positive purpose can achieve remarkable results for good - a fabulous book!
