We thought the last one was the last one... turns out you beautiful people just won't stop supporting us and our nominated charity Wirral Mind!
Thanks so much to Ukecan for sneaking this one in. I'm sure you'll agree it was worth it. You can watch Ukecan perform on Saturday at 12.35 on the Rugby Club Stage and the Ukecan Crew will be making their debut on the Main UkeTok Stage the same day at 2.40.
We cannot wait to see all of these fabulous loo posters in-situ at Summer Strum this year.

If you don't go for the yoga or the amazing view (which you should), just go to give Carter the dog a little cuddle. 👌❤️🧘‍♀️

FINAL LOO SPONSORSHIP!
Last but not least and well worth the wait, we bring you this delightfully wholesome loo sponsorship from The Lostock Ukes - Northwich
This poster is particularly apt as if you've ever skipped your way around a sunlit Italian island you'll know it's exactly the same as skipping to the Portaloos at Summer Strum! 😝
You can catch THE LOSTOCK UKES kicking off Saturday's frivolities on The Main UkeTok Stage at 12 noon.
Thanks so much to them for their support in helping us fund this year's Summer Strum and our nominated charity Wirral Mind

Massive thanks to all the bands who have sponsored a loo this year... we simply could not stage the festival without your help. ❤️🎶

🎶 We are absolutely delighted to welcome back the brilliant Andy from Liverpool Harmonica Club for another weekend of harmonica fun at Summer Strum! 🎶

Andy has generously given his time for many years now to run these hugely popular workshops and they always bring a fantastic atmosphere to the festival weekend.

You’ll get TWO sessions:
🎵 Saturday 18th July – 10am
🎵 Sunday 19th July – 10am

Both sessions will take place in The Ship Inn, right next to the festival site.

Across the two workshops you’ll learn the basics of harmonica playing and work together on a song that the group will then get to perform on the Sunday afternoon as part of Andy’s legendary Gob Iron Gang.😎

By the end of the weekend you’ll be wheezing away like seasoned blues legends.

The full course costs just £10. (all proceeds go to our Summer Strum charities)

All you need to bring:
Your enthusiasm and a harmonica in the key of C

Spaces are limited and these workshops fill up quickly, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

🎤 BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND ✨🎤

The one and only Robin from YinYan Wellbeing CIC will once again be gracing Summer Strum with the now legendary POWER BALLAD WORKOUT!

Think air grabs.
Think 80s ballad bangers.
Think a glorious mix of Qigong, yoga, dramatic emotional energy and absolute chaos.

Whether you’re a fitness fan or someone who just enjoys belting out “Total Eclipse of the Heart” in the pub, this friendly & fun session is for everyBODY under the sunny Hoylake sky.

Expect movement, laughter, questionable dance moves and all the power your heart & soul needs to soar!

We cannot wait for this one ❤️🎶
