Uke Hunt is going on its Christmas holibobs and it’ll be back in the New Year. If you want to make sure you’re the first to know when it’s back, subscribe by RSS or by email. A big thanks to everyone who has read, subscribed, commented, emailed and contributed. It’s been great that so many […]

You’re still looking on the net for Christmas presents this late? You are screwed. Unless… The big advantage with ebooks is that they’re delivered straight away (unless you pay be echeck – slogan: “Do you miss the hassle of real-world checks?”) and you can send them to anyone, anywhere instantly. In my opinion, the best […]

The best ukulele videos of the week including Colbie Caillat, Bob Brozman and Seeso.

Friend of Uke Hunt, IanB has set up a new ukulele site Uke Thingy. There’s a pleasing variety of tab there already stretching from YES to The Road to Eldorado via Van Morrison and Frampton. WeePOP! are my new favourite record label after sending me a Christmas card with a ukulele-playing snowman. I wouldn’t have […]

The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl – Fairytale of New York (Chords) One of the joys of Christmas is that Shane MacGowan is on the radio and TV as often as he should be the whole year round. Since the BBC has decided that the words ‘faggot’ and ‘slut’ are perfectly fine and it looks like […]

Sarah Silverman – Give the Jew Girl Toys (Chords) Like Mr Garrison, I’m very eager spread the love to all during the holiday season. So here are the chords for Sarah Silverman’s protest against Santa’s blatantly anti-semitic present giving policies. I’ve written the song up in D-tuning as it makes the chords much easier to […]

The Ramones – Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight) (Chords) Helen Love’s cover of The Ramones’ Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight) is the sound of Christmas as far as I’m concerned. You can download it at Filthy Little Angels. You’ll have to hunt for it on there but it’s well worth it. […]

Christmas With U (mp3) Christmas for Cowboys (mp3) via his website. At this time of year a lot of us will be working up a few Christmas songs to entertain family and friends. Ballard C Boyd is no different. Each year he puts together a CD for family and friends and also puts it up […]

Beirut – Flying Club Cup Beirut – Sunday Smile (mp3) via their website Beirut are hugely popular with hipsters and college kids. Whichever record exec focus-grouped the idea and found out that brass band waltzes and ukuleles were what the youngsters wanted deserves a raise. You can check out the songs at flyingclubcup.com where the […]

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Chords) This is one of my all time favourite Christmas songs. A huge number of people have done this song but my favourites are Coldplay’s (in the video) and Patsy Monteleone’s version on MUD. The chords in my version are loosely based on Patsy’s version – and, gosh, there […]
