This email was received from one of the event organisers after the event.
May I once again thank you and the rest of the Fakenham Ukes for your performances at our Christmas Tide Festival.
We have had many complimentary messages of how they enjoyed the day, and this is down to your contribution in making it so.
Again many thanks and best wishes to you and all your members for Christmas and New year.
Very best regards to you all

Wells Summer Fair. Sunday 27th August
What an exceptional day this was. Lovely venue, lovely event, lovely crowd. We all enjoyed our day here, both playing and relaxing between sets.
We must also mention the wonderful Mike Fox, singer and saxophonist, who also starred at this event and helped make it a great day.

We had never played at this venue before, but what a wonderful place this is. Thornage Hall is an independent charity providing supported living, learning and working for adults with learning disabilities. Its amazing what these people produce here. Its worth looking at their website.
TEA 4 2 Event at North Elmham 13th September 23
This Thursday we played at North Elmham. The afternoon Tea 4 2 event is always well attended by the villagers, which is a tribute to the hard working team that organises this regular event. The afternoon tea is held in the Memorial hall and provided by the Church for the elderly folk from North Elmham. Everyone enjoyed delicious cakes and sandwiches followed by a sing-a-long afternoon of music provided by the fabulous Fakenham Ukes.
Wighton Village Hall Grand Opening. 28th October 2023
On Saturday the Fakenham Ukes played at the grand opening of Wighton new village hall. We played the last gig in the old hall, about 18 months ago, and are thrilled to have been invited to play the first gig in the new venue. The event was attended by lots of villagers and friends who enjoyed a wonderful evening of music, song and dance.
