This is the home of Moselele. We’re a ukulele group in Moseley in Birmingham. If you want you can come and play with us, you can find out when we meet on the about page. We have put all of the songs that we know into one great big database which you can search by song name, the band that made the song and the book that we’ve put it in. You can find links to the PDF for each song there. We also have vast collections of songbooks that you can download and share.

You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter. We’re always pleased to hear from people that play our ukes or use our songbooks. We’re most pleased to hear from people that are planning on coming along to play with us. So, get in touch.

Meet Moselele: #8 – Lorna P

After being up since 4am with two teething babies and still making it to last night's Moselele, we thought it was only right that we honour Lorna P this week. Of course, when we say "honour", we mean "make her answer ten silly questions and post pictures of her...

Meet Moselele: #6 – Daz W

Moselele wouldn't exist without Daz. It was his idea and it's his unique leadership that makes Moselele the way it is (we don't call it a Dazocracy for nothing). So it feels a bit silly asking him the same questions as everyone else. But we did it anyway. 1) Tell us...
