Driffield Ukulele Band
A ukulele band is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face!
Who We Are
In early Spring 2019, a few enthusiastic ukulele players from the Driffield area decided that although playing solo ukulele was good, playing with other like-minded performers was so much better – and a lot of fun.
And so, the Driffield Ukulele Band was born.
What we do
We play a variety of musical genres – pop, folk, country,rock, blues- anything goes! We play at all types of events – parties, charity functions, fetes and festivals, concerts, pub evenings, clubs and institutions, day care centres, residential care homes – if you fancy hearing some lively, fun-filled music then we can help. Take a look at the Future Bookings section below.
2026
The summer season is now here and we are keeping busy. We enjoyed playing at the Beverley Folk Festival and had a fun evening as the opening act for the Walkington Ukulele Festival. Filey and Gristhorpe Ukulele Festivals follow soon. Come along and join us! We have played at care homes and day care centres around the Driffield and Bridlington areas and hope to continue playing at these venues, where we are always very well received. One of the highlights earlier this year was presenting a cheque to the RNLI at Bridlington for the proceeds we collected when playing at the Sewerby House Orangery Concerts in 2025 . We will be playing at The Orangery again this summer and proceeds from all our gigs this year, wherever they are, will be donated to the RNLI.
During the pandemic we made several videos which can be seen on YouTube and we hope to make some new ones this year. Watch this space!
Our calendar is filling up fast and we look forward to adding more bookings, so please contact us if you would like us to come along and play for you.
The Driffield Ukulele Band is community centred. We welcome connections with other musicians and singers and from time to time audition for new members. We also welcome roadies and sound engineers. We practise on Wednesday afternoons. Please talk to us through Facebook or this website – let us know which instruments you play and your voice range. https://www.facebook.com/groups/396747060930656 or https://driffieldukuleleband.com/
