TUBUP was founded in 2009 as a one off project to break a Guinness world record for the most number of ukuleles played at one time, as part of a family learning festival for Corby Borough Council in Northamptonshire, where Steve Nutter was working as an arts development officer.

 

Over a period of months, we delivered TUBUP sessions in schools, community events, youth groups, and OAP settings, and in October 2009, there was a massed TUB-Uke performance in Corby town centre.

 

As it happens, Guinness declined the challenge, and said that it wasn’t a proper ukulele, and therefore didn’t qualify. (We of course beg to differ, and claim the unofficial world record)

 

The TUBUP team brings everything you need to make your own fully functional and tunable and playable TUB-Ukulele, with just a TUB, some wood, and some fishing line.

​

We have delivered TUBUP for schools, festivals, carnivals, INSET and training, team building activities, community events, OAPS, special needs, wedding receptions, sporting events, hard to reach and even Royalty!
