Performers

  • Once again, we had to invite the D.U.O back following their extremely entertaining concert last December. The perfect kick-start to Christmas.
  • Founded in 2014, D.U.O is an all-female ukulele extravaganza based in Ayrshire. They love playing their ukuleles which generates a fun filled atmosphere for all.
  • Since 2014 the orchestra has been invited to play at numerous festivals, concerts, and events.
  • They play well loved songs ranging from traditional Scottish music to ABBA and everything in-between.

Additional Acts

  • The Club’s Stalwart Floor Singers: Supporting the main performance, these regulars bring additional variety and community spirit to the evening. Everyone is welcome to offer to take part—whether you play an instrument, sing, recite a poem, or tell a story.
