Robin’s Ukulele Extravaganza

The Pleasance Courtyard
The Green // The Kidzone

14 August — 24 August 2012

Tickets – http://www.edfringe.com/whats-on/music/robin-s-ukulele-extravaganza

Be whisked away to a world of ukulele family fun with Robin and friends. Come and learn your first few chords and then play along to timeless classics such as ‘Stand By Me’, ‘Yellow Submarine’ and maybe even something by Jessie J or Cee Lo Gree!

Don’t fancy ukulele? Don’t worry; there will be shakers to shake, percussion toys to percuss and even a xylophone to xylo. Not a beginner? You are welcome… there will be opportunities to show of your musical prowess and chordal dexterity too.

‘When will I be old enough to have lessons with Robin?’
Tommy’s younger brother Theo, aged 5

‘Brilliant’ Jessica, aged 7
