Sunshine Coast Ukulele Masters

Home Page

Sunshine Coast Ukulele Masters Inc started in June 2009 with 10 people and just 6 songs to kick us off.

Our club has come a very long way in that time with an annual membership of over 400 happy ukers, 2 great meetings each month, our own club songbook, and an annual ukulele festival.

For more details about Sunshine Coast Ukulele Festival 2018 please check out our festival website. CLICK HERE

Membership is for anyone who wants to be part of our big, happy ukulele family. The cost is an annual fee of $15 with membership renewals starting in January each year. To keep our annual fees down, we ask that each time you attend a meeting, to please pop a $2 coin into the bucket as a donation.

Pineapple Crush have been having a lot of fun together over the past 4 years, coasting up and down the east coast, way out west and all over the Sunshine Coast sharing their love of ukulele playing, great song arrangements and fabulous vocal harmonies. Their songs cover a wide range of era’s and genre’s from slow ballads to rock ‘n roll to Bluegrass.

In 2016 the name change from the original UkeCrazy People came about after months…….and months….and…..errrr months of debate, trial names, wine and cocktails. Pineapple Crush reflects several things to the band, but mostly they just like pineapples. And cocktails.

In 2015 Pineapple Crush (then called UkeCrazy People) recorded their first album entitled Spring Fever, which also features a songbook with the chords & words to the 14 songs on the album.
