Welcome to The Ukulele Society of Great Britain

Our Mission
The Ukulele Society of Great Britain exists to establish and promote an interest in the playing of the ukulele and ukulele banjo in all their various styles and methods of presentation.

Since its formation in 1970, the USGB has worked to actively encourage the development of ukulele skills. We use a number of methods to pursue this objective, some of which are mentioned below. The Society is always looking for new ideas about how it can better promote the ukulele.
New this year:-

Conventions

The Society has two conventions every year, in April and October, which are open to members and non-members. The conventions are held in Digswell, just outside Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, and normally run from 10:30 am to 7:00 pm. [Conventions]

The Syncopator Magazine

Twice a year, the USGB publishes its own magazine called "The Syncopator". This is sent to all members of the Society and includes an eclectic mix of articles, features, reviews and much more. [The Syncopator]

The USGB has its own Facebook page [FaceBook ] in which members (many of them very skilled) post videos and tutorials as well as some interesting discussions, and its own YouTube channel [YouTube ] with videos of memorable performances from past USGB Conventions.
