19 July We have three public performances coming up in August so, to freshen up our next gig lists, we'll need to rehearse a few new songs from our Candidates book.

​12 July Tom Anderson, our esteemed pianist and Buskers' founding member, announced that he is retiring from the stage after 7.5 years of being our musical heartbeat. The Buskers were born in Tom's garage before moving to the Blue Haven Village Centre where the Monday group still meets. His piano has been integral to the Buskers' sound.  As we evolved from novices to become a diverse musical ensemble, Tom was ever-present to support us - from being our metronome and melody lead  in the early years to being our piano accompanist who helped create a rich musical sound that is unique among south coast ukulele groups. For Tom's final Thursday night, we embarked on a historical journey by playing a string of Tom's favourites - starting with "You Are My Sunshine" and ending with "Runaway" and Tom's rendition of one of his original ragtime compositions. His piano work will be sadly missed though we are hoping he may make the odd "guest" appearance in future concerts.
