Uke 'N' Party for Elsie-Rose!

 

I've talked about one of our ukulele bands Uke 'N' Party before (blog), well, on Monday they played in Rock-a-Nore Road, including up on the Stacey Marie (facebook page) with a wee bucket to support Mark et al and their cross Channel Kayak Challenge in aid of raising money for Elsie-Rose and the Elsie-Rose & Friends Foundation; see past blog for more information.

They certainly were the centre of attraction whilst they played up on Stacey Marie, in front of the boat, and later on the balcony of the Dolphin Inn, strangers to Hastings looked a wee bit puzzled, but we all know Hastings likes to party and raises funds for charity like nowhere else!

 

Anyway, during their time entertaining anyone who wanted to stop and listen they raised £125.04 towards the Kayak Challenge, many thanks for their time and the entertainment they provided, cheers!

Indeed, if you would like further information, as I said above, a number of my blogs provide this, or you can go to Crowdfunding and make a donation, for which we would be extremely grateful, many thanks!



Uke 'N' Party too!

Following the return last Tuesday of the Tune Raiders to the Dolphin Inn, Rock-a-Nore Road, and their own 'Oirish' sound, this evening sees the (also regular at the Nelson) regular monthly visit of ukuleles and Uke 'N' Party (facebook event page) at the Dolphin from 8.30pm!

So, now 3 regular monthly Tuesday night slots at the Dolphin, Uke 'N' Party, the Tune Raiders, and Mojo Calling (see last months blog). However, another excellent local act could be filling the vacant Tuesday in the month very soon, watch this space!

Of course, there is regular live music every Friday and Saturday evening at the Dolphin too, not to mention the odd Sunday or Public Holiday afternoon gig, and, of course, live music all over town most days of every week, Hastings the place to live!

Tune Raiders on hold...

Sadly, the regular Tuesday evening slot of the Tune Raiders at the Dolphin Inn, Rock-a-Nore Road, has ended after about 4 years due to various reasons, so Tuesdays have changed there. This Tuesday just gone, I missed a number of the Ukulele people who play every 2 weeks on Fridays round the corner at the Lord Nelson in The Bourne (next a week today on the 9th of February, I believe). They'll be returning to the Dolphin again on the evening of Tuesday 20th February as Uke 'n' Party, which I'm told was excellent this Tuesday, so well worth a visit there, and to the Lord Nelson of course!

Next Tuesday, the 6th February, at the Dolphin will be folk music by Mojo Calling, and, of course, on the 13th is Fat Tuesday (see previous blog or the Fat Tuesday website).

Expect to see varying gigs and events at the Dolphin Inn from now on Tuesday evenings, and don't be surprised to see fiddly diddly Oirish Tune Raiders return at some time, best wishes to them all and their families!
