In the past uke-playing hunks like George Formby and Tiny Tim have been cruelly overlooked in ‘world’s sexist men’ lists. No Longer.
French Elle’s list of the 15 sexiest men (or palmara¨s des quinze hommes les plus sexy if you prefer) was topped by uke-playing star of France’s Pop Idol Julien Dore. He managed to beat off Jude Law, Brad Pitt and Justin Timberlake without even being old enough to grow a proper beard.
His list of musical influences is much more interesting than most of the people who appear on these shows. He name-checks Herman Dune, BRMC and Jonathan Fire*Eater but, of course, most of the songs he performs are rather less interesting.
Here’s a question for you: who’s the sexiest uke player? I’m voting for the geek chic of James Hill.
In a Julien vs. James sexiness election…I’d vote for James.
There’s a bit of a difference between sexist and sexiest. I would hope that most uke players would be sexy rather than sexist. ;)[/former editor nitpicking]
As for the sexiest, I vote Age Pryor.
I vote for James ;)
So it’s true, ladies love cool james.
@indigo: Thanks for pointing out the mistake. That’ll learn me not to not proof read proper. On the up side, I’ve finally realised what your name is a reference to.

AGE PRYOR or BRET MCKENZIE get my votes! Both in the Wellington International Ukelele Orchestra…oozing hotness all over their ukes…:)
Lisa: Bret I can definitely understand. But Age?
