The UHOOs (Ukulele Hoalohas of Pamlico County)

UHOOs stands for the Ukulele Hoalohas Of Oriental. ‘Hoaloha’ means friend in Hawaiian. Our group was started a few years ago as a way for people to get together, have fun and make some music. The ukulele is a four-stringed instrument which is good for beginners because one can quickly learn simple accompaniments. The ukulele also lends itself to percussion and solo performance. We play Calypso-style island songs, traditional folk music, and contemporary music. We find it is a way to broaden our cultural borders and make new friends.

No admission, but donations to Riverside United Methodist Church accepted. The UHOOs always welcome new members. For information, www.facebook.com/ukulelehoalohas/ or contact Judy Styron at cjstyron@embarqmail.com.
