#5 in the “SUJ Plays…” series.

A Southampton Ukulele Jam twist on the vinyl listening party. This time it’s the king himself, Elvis Presley. Following on from the successful Abba night, we’re going to be doing an Elvis Greatest Hits selection (hopefully) played from glorious 7″ vinyl singles (some authentic crackle will be included). So we’ll be listening to each of the original songs, and then playing each track together, as a ukulele jam. Getting a sense of how it was done, and then jamming together, putting SUJ’s unique spin on each track.

Songs will be from the following list:
• All Shook Up
• Always On My Mind
• Blue Suede Shoes
• Burning Love
• Can’t Help Falling In Love
• Don’t Be Cruel
• Heartbreak Hotel
• (Marie’s The Name Of) His Latest Flame
• Hound Dog
• I Just Can’t Help Believing
• In The Ghetto
• Jailhouse Rock
• A Little Less Conversation
• Return To Sender
• Suspicious Minds
• (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear
• That’s All Right
• Viva Las Vegas
• Way Down

You can download the songbook at https://uketunes.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/elvissongbook.pdf. Please bring along your own copy.

Note that we have a new venue, at The Malvern Tavern in Winchester Road, where we’ll be in the main bar (there may well be an audience!). They have a large car park at the rear of the pub, so there should be plenty of space for parking.
