Poole Ukulele Pluckers and Strummers
"Hello" and welcome to our website
Poole Ukulele Pluckers & Strummers (PUPS) is for ukulele enthusiasts to meet, play, sing, chat and generally have a good time. Whatever your playing ability you are welcome to join us — from professional musician to complete beginner. With lots of us playing together, the occasional duff chord is in good company!
