    Fancy helping to make a third Zoë Bestel Album?

    Ooh hello! It's been such a long time since I've shared a post in the UU forum, so it's heartening to know a thriving community of dedicated 'uke lovers are still discussing every inch of this wonderful instrument that connects us. I still regularly get asked why I don't actively play guitar...

    Hey there Mr Blue Sky!

    It's been raining all day, so the irony would've been fun, but when I went out to film this it stopped...so we got the hose pipe out and proceeded to absolutely drench me, ha! Recorded on my tenor uke, and filmed in beautiful Scotland. Hope you enjoy this little slice of blue sky

    Too controversial for the C word?

    Too controversial for the C word? Christmas that is... Gah, is it too early to mention Christmas? I know, I know it's still only November but... I found this gorgeous, it seems, little known 1940's song called December. It's written by Al Rinker and Floyd Huddleston, the guys behind The...

    A song from my bath...

    Big wonderful group of ukulele music makers, in light of what has been happening on our little planet, I sing you this song from my bath. I chose it because it feels fitting, it feels poignant for the moment, it's also been in my head for a while. Kept all the bits in the vid where I was being...

    Trying to change the world four strings at a time...

    ( Apologies already for the cheesy title, but I'm a cheesy teen and couldn't think of anything ;D ) Someone I met once at a folk festival thanked me for playing the ukulele like a 'proper instrument' and that's something I'll always remember. I have so many reasons I decided to leave school at...

    Jamie Cullum Baritone Ukulele Cover

    Hi, I'm all new to this, so thought I'd just stick one of my own covers up here. That's okay, right? Jamie Cullum is one of my favourite artists and this is his latest single Everything You Didn't Do, covered by me, Zoë :) I mispronounce a word....But shhhh you didn't hear that from me :D Enjoy!

    You guys are lovely

    Hello! I'm Zoë, fifteen and have been playing the ukulele for two years. Wasn't really sure if I should say all this in the Introduction boards or whether I should just dive in. But here I am saying hello. A year ago I think I came on here and posted a video of one of my original songs for some...
