I was just hunting around for info on playing gypsy jazz on uke, and since I logged in here, I thought I'd say hello in case there's anyone here who remembers me! Long time no see, people.

Enjoy!

I know I'm not going to win Bushman unless I decide to work every contact I have and stuff the ballot box, and that just feels grubby. On the other hand, my Bushman entries get way more views than anything else, so here we go again, just for fun. I love this song.

A nice bit of weekend crooning......

It's been a little while since I've posted, but I'm on holiday, and I found time for this lovely song

Hope you like!

Another little something from my recent gig

Cheesy Breezy Beautiful!

Another one from my set at Environmental Rock:

Got out and played a gig this weekend, and a couple of mates got up to do the last 3 songs with me. Here's one of them!

A friend of mine is involved in a little local festival, Environmental Rock, which takes place in a local live music venue. He pestered the apparently rather world weary and skeptical promoter to check out my Youtube, and he's apparently now very excited about having me perform! This was a total...

Got to break out my low whistle and my flute for this one!

First time using a capo on a uke, I think. It restricts movement a bit on a soprano!

As many of you know, I write for an acoustic guitar magazine, and as such, I have to talk about woods and their characteristics a lot. I've always used this site as a reference if uncertain: http://www.pantheonguitars.com/tonewoods.htm And it's great, but I've just revisited the site of...

I did this for the No Copyright Claim Cover Campaign, but it deserves posting here, because it's the best original song I heard by a UUer last year:

I made a New Year's Resolution that I was going to write at least 12 songs this year, one a month. Here is January's offering. This is the first song I've written on uke rather than guitar or keyboard!

Bit off the cuff, but not bad!

He won a contest I ran back in the summer (he was the only entrant, actually), and I've been struggling to get his prize sorted. Anyway, I now have a rather cool t-shirt for him, and he's disappeared. Does anyone have his email, or his Youtube address, or anything?
