Ukulele Friday joins BUMS
17th April 2025

On Friday the 11th of April, a happy gathering of some 23 ukesters celebrated Ukulele Friday joining Brisbane Ukulele Musicians Society. The jam was run by Corinda local ukulele royalty, sisters Gabi Liddle, and Jen Reynolds, along with Jen’s talented sons Sam and Ayden Reynolds. Ukulele Friday lead a jam at Corinda on the second Friday of the month. Check them out at the next jam on 9 May.
Those in attendance enjoyed a delightful selection of songs from Taylor Swift, Marty Robbins, Train, the Steeldrivers, and others. The evening was eventful because it was the first time Ukulele Friday played as a BUMS Jam at the Corinda Bowlo, and it was the first time that they played in the Bar Annex in the Corinda Bowls club.
It was a very enjoyable evening. The venue is roomy enough to accommodate up to 35 jammers. On the evening in question, BUMS put on a small table of cocktail nibbles as part of the celebration. The Bar is conveniently adjacent to the Annex, and there are food trucks that provide an eclectic menu of tasty snacks. The fun night ended happily, at 8:00 with the jammers leaving Corinda Bowlo with a broad smile on their faces.
