REPEAT CHORUS
On Saturday 12th December 6 members representing the Fakenham Ukes and played at the Brisley Christmas walk. A number of well known songs and a sprinkling of Christmas songs were enjoyed by a small crowd including a few supporting uke members. The day was in aid of E.A.C.H. The East Anglian Children's Hospices and the Fakenham Ukes are proud of being instrumental in helping to raise over £600 for the charity.
Fakenham Ukes 'Buskers' gigging in the market place 17th December 20
“A few hardy souls from the Fakenham Ukes braved the cold on Thursday 17th December to do some busking and raise money for charity. It wasn’t an official engagement, but in our first set we drew a reasonable crowd and raised an astonishing £125 for the Salvation Army Food Bank. Our second set was less well attended, and we succumbed to the cold after a few numbers. Thank you to all who supported us and for the money raised.”
