Ukulele Club Marbella hits the right note

New members are welcome to join a fast growing group of fans during their weekly practice sessions

:: ASH BOLTON MARBELLA. A new ukulele club is growing fast in Marbella thanks to a plucky Irish musician. Colm Fitzpatrick started teach- ing the ukulele to a couple of friends last June shortly after moving to Spain from Cork. But word quickly spread about the club and dozens of people are learning how to play the small guitar-like instrument. Now the group are planning on putting on their first performance at the Don Carlos Hotel in Marbella in June. Colm, 32, who is originally from Cork, Ireland, and has lived in San Pedro since January 2017, told SUR in English that he started the club almost by accident.

That has raised a few eyebrows. Is it too soon? Apart from the fact that bringing up three babies at a time can be very hard from a purely logistical point of view, numerous pieces of scientific research have concluded that two pregnancies close together carry risks for the mother and the baby: there is ten times more chance of a mis- carriage and four times more of a pre- mature birth, but the mother is also more at risk of suffering from anae- mia, gestational diabetes, high blood pressure or placenta previa and the baby could weigh less at birth, be at risk of sudden death and autism, among other problems.
