Welcome to.... Mandolins, Balalaikas, Ukuleles and other lesser known music of British Columbia's Lower Mainland Hosted by The Lower Mainland Mandolin Society Last updated June 15, 2022 |
News flash! Members of our group will be performing Saturday, June 18, 2022 as guests of the Vancouver Swiss Choir, at All Saints Anglican Church, 7405 Royal Oak, Burnaby at 2:00 pm.
We have a large ukulele section and have recently been graced with a mando-cello player - and we are now cautiously practicing at Dunwood Place in New Westminster. We gave a concert for the residents there on December 11. A few of us also entertained the residents of Royal Ascot in Vancouver December 8.
Our president elect is Barbara LaDouceur (Barbie).
Due to the pandemic, most concerts were cancelled until further notice. To entertain you in the meantime, here is a link to a video of leader Catherine Sands and friends playing "My Bonnie" with new words written by Catherine. As the words may not be completely audible, they are on our Facebook page.
Welcome new visitors! Check out reports of our recent activities on Melodious Mandolins page and our Photo Album.
Mandolin lessons available. E-mail us to arrange.
Time to dust off that old mandolin sitting in the closet! We need more mandolin players, ukulele players and also guitar players who enjoy entertaining seniors on a volunteer basis. Call us at 604-202-4191 for an audition.
