Bellingham Ukulele Orchestra
The Bellingham Ukulele Orchestra (BUO) is a group of devoted ukulele players and singers originally drawn from the Bellingham Ukulele Group. Established in 2010 under the direction of Gail MacDonald, the group rehearsed weekly to play winter and spring concerts that delighted friends and ukulele enthusiasts. Gail retired in late 2019. All members typically participate in at least 2 regional workshops per year to learn new skills and repertoire.
