About

Sevenukes is a Ukulele group based at Otford Methodist Church Hall, Otford. We rehearse every Wednesday (from 6.00pm) and the group get to play a few gigs each year. We are unable to accept members who are under 18 years old.

What’s different about this club?
Our ukulele group is slightly different to many traditional social ukulele clubs, we are a collective who all have an input when it comes to song choice, are always looking to improve our playing and enjoy playing at gigs whenever possible.

Weekly rehearsals cater for intermediate and more advanced players, so if you’re fed up with playing everything in C and 4/4 time, we may be the group for you!. The music is aimed at mixed abilities, meaning that there will be simple chordal parts for everyone and tricky picking or rhythmic strumming parts for those who have been playing longer, have experience in a band, or want the challenge.

What you get as a member:
Approximately 12 rehearsals per term. We work together to share our musical experience, those people who have been playing for longer or have a deeper musical knowledge are always happy to share with others. We are always on the look out for strong (and brave!) vocalists and percussionists.

Gigs – Previous gigs have included the Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks; Pizza Express, Maidstone and Festivals in Sevenoaks, Newnham, Whitstable and Rye. We’ve even been known to turn up unannounced! Take a look at out gigs page to see some videos and photos of our performances. These are great fun, but totally optional.

  1. Hi, I am hoping to move to the area and will be staying near by next week. Would it be possible to visit your group? I have been playing Ukulele and Banjolele for three/four years with my local U3A Orchestra and another band.

    kind regards Linda

    • Hi Linda
      Thanks for getting in touch, Sevenukes is now more of a performing group, rather than a traditional ukelele social get together. At the moment we are restricting numbers.
      One other option, depending upon where you will be staying, might be a group in orpington called OUCH, who are open to anyone. https://jj308.wixsite.com/ouch
