My tribute to the mighty Serge Gainsbourg! :)

Hi chaps and chapesses, long time no see! Salut les gars ça fait longtemps! A little clawhammer medley with Cripple Creek imbedded in the middle. Based on the tab from Aaron Keim's fine tutorial. :cool:

A few songs from our mini-set at our local Ukulele Festival :) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX7WmoCs3PfqXY3qySmzeMYCF76FeaMvJ A bit patchy but Wagon Wheel probably came out the best

by the late great Jacques Brel More an exercise in trying out my french than anything else. Je vous remercie

From our recent rehearsal. I like playing this but find it hard to sing - any tips?

Off to a ukulele festival at the Duke of Wellington in Shoreham-by-Sea today! Here's our rehearsal of La La Blues from last night. Love this song is it's a riot to play. It's just A, E7, D, D7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q69NRE_KnhU EDIT: Hmm video keep starting at the end...not sure why...

I just tried one of these in the local guitar shop (GAK) and was quite impressed. It had a snappy retro sound and made my Formby stylings sound much more authentic. Any idea how it weighs up against other modern banjoleles? I have a firefly but personally don't love it. This felt much more 'me'...

Bonzo dog doo-dah band (Although actually written by Roger Ruskin Spear - as Neil Innes told me *cof* namedrop *cof*) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaEm2GYd9a8 http://neilinnes.org/chords/tubas.htm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU33YfXHdLI Damn that sounds awful! But the tide was coming in and I was getting wet. Still, the sea looks nice. ;)

My take on the version taught by the Brilliant Ukulelezaza: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix2LXfkAqf4 (see description for link to the tutorial) :)

Ok, not directly uke related but thought some of you luthier types might dig this! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22467510

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160996301033?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 I'm moving on the little Banjo uke I bought a couple of years ago if anyone is interested? (I checked marketplace rules and believe this is the right place for such posts) It's a fun little thing but a...

Well, it's just been mad stressful at work this last week. And I'm off to do a silly cycle thing in a couple of days http://www.lejourdefrance.org.uk/2012/index.php - which I feel completely unprepared for! So I just did this in an effort to convince myself that I'm actually a laid back...

A new one from me and my bros - this was meant to be a rehearsal but fek it, there aren't too many errors! :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEUH0hVbb-o I recently had a go at Happy Talk for Mim's 'Razzle Dazzle' Competition. As I couldn't find any decent chords on the net I worked out my own version. I've taken a few liberties with it but it was fun and seemed to work quite well so thought I'd share...

Seen lots of videos showing how to play this but none seemed quite right to me - Spent some time working it out this evening, this is how I reckon it goes. Not perfect - I'm no Lyle Ritz but I think it's something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gJgV5LUqsc I've left out the singing...

Baby on board from The Simpsons . Words and lyrics by Jeff Martin/The Dapper Dans. Chords from Alligator Boogaloo http://www.alligatorboogaloo.com/uke/tabs/050305.html Played on Firefly banjo uke. If you don't like this then the good news is it's only 55 seconds long. ;)

One of the less frequently covered George Formby songs but one of my favourites. It's a simple little song but one that I almost always fluff at least one of the chord changes on. I don't know why! :o This is about the best take I managed after a several attempts. It's played on a Tenor uke...
