The Parramatta & Hills Ukulele Network (PHUN) was established in April 2008 by Arthur & Denise Ongley, and hosted by Parramatta Baptist Church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was born from a desire to connect with, and give something beneficial to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur and Denise decided to gather ukulele loving people together for an informal time of community music-making and friendship, and to provide opportunities to learn and play the ukulele.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, PHUN has become a vibrant musical community made up of people who have discovered the joy of making music, making friends, and sharing the joy of both with others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
