Ayr Phoenix Folk Club has announced that the Dalrymple Ukulele Orchestra will take centre stage at their latest night of music in Ayr.
The D.U.O. will perform at the Abbotsford Hotel, Corsehill Road, Ayr, on Tuesday, December 3 and it promises to be another night to be remembered.
A spokesperson for Ayr Phoenix Folk Club said: “D.U.O.’s first ‘performance’ was in the Tam O’ Shanter bar where they were given a standing ovation from a very enthusiastic crowd celebrating the Ayr Races!
“Since then, the orchestra has been invited to play at various festivals, concerts, and events, they have even played a bride down the aisle!
“Their uplifting story began nine years ago at a New Year’s party in Dalrymple when Karen arrived with her new ukulele, chord charts and Christmas songs!
“Several ladies decided they wanted to learn to play, so practices soon took place round the kitchen table for weeks after.
“Over the years, different ladies have been inspired to join them on their crazy ukulele journey, while others have moved on. However, they still have a core of founding members who have faithfully stayed the course and given the orchestra its unique and wonderful character that brings so much fun to their performances.”
On the night the orchestra will be supported by Ayr Phoenix Folk Club’s stalwart floor singers.
