Location: Cricketers Arms - Woolston

We’re up to #26 (how did that happen? hands up anybody who has been to all of them?!) and this time around we’ll be attempting a selection of songs from those synthpop wizards, Pet Shop Boys. Probably majoring on the 80s and 90s classics, but with selections from across their career.
As usual, this will be a Southampton Ukulele Jam twist on the vinyl listening party. We'll be listening to each of the original songs, and then playing each track together, as a ukulele jam. Getting a sense of how it was done, and then jamming together, putting SUJ's very unique spin on each tune.
The setlist will be as follows:
Suburbia
West End Girls
Se a vida é (That's the Way Life Is)
Rent
Love Comes Quickly
So Hard
Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money)
It’s A Sin
Go West
I Wouldn’t Normally Do This Kind Of Thing
Heart
Jealousy
What Have I Done To Deserve This?
Always On My Mind
Where The Streets Have No Name / Can’t Take My Eyes Off You
Song sheets for all the songs can be found in the SUJ vs Pet Shop Boys songbook, which you can download at https://uketunes.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/suj-vs-pet-shop-boys.pdf
We’re back at our now regular venue - The Cricketers Arms in Woolston. It’s just over the bridge, there’s some parking at the back of the pub, and there is also parking in the nearby Portsmouth Road Car Park.
