Update on LUG Jams

Update on May, 2023

Hello LUGS!

So great to have summer weather here at last. Some of you have been asking when we will be starting up the LUGS again. We hope to do so sometime this summer.

Our big personal news is that we have sold our home in Carleton Place and are moving to a bungalow in Kingston! As you can imagine, this will be a very busy June and July for us. However, as Kingston is only 1.5 hours from Carleton Place, we are anticipating that we will be able to get the LUGS up and running again later in the summer, hopefully (if Generations Restaurant will have us) under the big tent.

We will keep you updated once we see how our summer unfolds.

We are looking forward to singing and playing together again soon!

No Jams Scheduled

Hello Fellow Ukulele Enthusiast

There will be no jam this month. At this point we have no schedule for the next jam. We will post updates as they become available. Take care and we hope to see you soon.

September 25th, 2022 Jam

Sadly as the warm summer days leave us, we will need to find another place to jam. We have had a wonderful time by the lake at Generations but the tent will be taken down and packed away for the winter soon. So this will be our last jam of the season under the big top. We will be having our “Raise the Roof” jam at Generations on September 25th, 2022. Your last chance to sit and strum by Lake Mississippi this year, so please join us!

Thanks to the kind folks at Generations for letting us play at their wonderful location for these last six jams!

When: Sunday, September 25th, 2022 4:30 PM

Strumming starts at 4:30 PM so please come a little early to claim your spot, grab a refreshment and tune your instrument. We will be having a short break midway through and finish up around 6:00 PM.

Where: Generations Market and Restaurant, 717 Lake Park Road, Carleton Place

We will be jamming by the side of Lake Mississippi under a big top tent. Lots of room and plenty of chairs and tables so you can socially distance during the jam. Parking is plentiful.

Drinks and foods are available during the jam. Please support Generations Market and Restaurant. For anyone staying afterwards for dinner on the patio we strongly recommend that you make reservations for 6:00 PM at 613-253-5253. 

SET LIST

We project the lyrics and chords during the jam but make the set available in different formats to provide an opportunity for people to practise in advance of the jam. The easiest to access format is PDF and this format should work with virtually any computer system. You can download a copy here: 

For those with OnSong, you can grab a copy of the OnSong archive here.

For other song viewer software we have linked a Chordpro version of the chords and lyrics to the song title in the Set List.
