Crown & Garter, Inkpen, Garden Party and BBQ - May 2021
"Wow! Great Sound!" "Brought such a lovely Buzz to the event" "This is Merry Music isn't it mummy!"
Fair Close Day Centre, Newbury, August 2019
"MisSpent Ukes could bring any setting to life at any time of day. They are just filled with effortless energy that gets the most reluctant guest foot tapping and up dancing! We cannot wait to see them again and our members asked if they could play for us every two months (in fact one lady said she'd have them play every day!). We are looking forward to seeing them again in December at our Christmas event. Many thanks for bringing so much sunshine into the lives of so many here at the Fair Close Centre". Sandy Gilbert, Outreach Coordinator

"I am just writing to thank you for a wonderful evening last Wednesday. It really was a most enjoyable and everyone I spoke to felt the same way. The choice of music got us all involved and I won't hesitate to recommend Misspent Ukes to anyone who enjoys that kind of music. Please pass on our thanks to Ann, Helen, and Rob. They are all very talented and your singing is nearly as good as your golf"!!
