Thanks very much (only just remembered I posted this!), have contacted the balham uke society through the link you attached.

You know I am sure any good guitar teacher would be able to teach you. Most of them can pick up any guitar, banjo etc and play.
If you find a good one let me know, I am also thinking about it.

Hi

I bought a uke a few months ago and I'm keen to have some lessons. Very much a beginner, though I've got the hang of a few chords, need help with learning the more difficult chords and also different types of strumming....

If you're a uke teacher please let me know if you have availability and how much you charge.

I live in SW18 so ideally someone around here would be great....

thanks!
