The “Nantwich N’Ukes” local ukulele group are taking part in a two-day “Buskulele” extravaganza this weekend.
Members of the group (pictured), who play Sundays at The Black Lion in Nantwich, will join clubs across the North West.
It takes place on July 7 and 8, starting with a huge busk through Chester city centre on the Saturday, led by Chester Ukulele Players.
On the Sunday, the Groves Band Stand will showcase performances from ukulele clubs across the region, including Nantwich.
The event aims to raise money for the “Miles of Smiles” charity, which sends disabled, sick and under-privileged children in the region on a trip of a life-time.
A spokesman for the event said: “Buskulele is open to anyone who enjoys playing the ukulele, so if you would like to join in get in touch!”

Well it turned out to be huge fun, lots of sunshine and a resounding success. Chester Uke Players collected over £1500 for charity.
Yes let’s hope the weather’s good so folks will come into town and help us raise money for a worthy cause 🙂
Very much looking forward to it, and thanks to Chester for organising!
