History
The Saskatoon Ukulele Players started in early 2016 as a Meetup group called Saskatoon Ukulele Friends with just a few people meeting at a local coffee shop.
We’re a friendly group of people who love playing the ukulele, singing, and having fun. Our music ranges from beginner to advanced and we’re always adding new music. In addition to regular jam sessions, we also have special events like potlucks, picnics, and more.

As a result, ANY kind of discrimination or harassment – physical, mental, or emotional – will NOT be tolerated.
2) Many of the songs we play are online with music added every week. Printed copies are available at each session as well. Practice is not absolutely required but it does help the jam sessions move more smoothly.
3) A suggested donation of $2 helps us cover costs such as the price of using Meetup, the website, and printing of music. It’s not required but greatly appreciated as it helps keep the club running.
4) Please consider buying food and/or drinks from our host location – currently, Amigo’s Cantina – as a way of saying thank you for letting us use their place.
5) Musicians playing other instruments such as percussion or guitar are welcome but are asked to email the coordinator at [email protected] about attendance before jam sessions or events as our primary focus is on the ukulele and we would like to keep numbers in favour of ukuleles.
6) Photos and video are sometimes taken at public jams and events are sometimes posted online for advertising as well as for sharing with other members.
