Swedish ukulele players.

There’s a new French record label dedicated to ukulele music Ukulele Division. They have their own releases as well as imports by the likes of Victoria Vox and the New York Ukulele Ensemble. Roger at Buke has really been knocking out the baritone ukulele tabs of late. Lots of ukulele cover love on the mp3 […]

Another week, another Fluke. This time it’s a Tiki Mug Fluke. I do like a ukulele with a bit of history to it – even if that history means nothing to me. This 8 string Martin is advertised as being, “used in ministry by Dorothy Hall,” (search me), “she also played this instrument with Andre […]

I go out of my way to avoid charity albums put together by celebrities, but I’m making an exception for Big Change: Songs for FINCA that was released on iTunes this week. There are three reasons why I’m making an exception: the celeb is Natalie Portman, it includes tracks by some of my favourite performers […]

After endlessly playing the Hawaiian turnaround this week, it was inevitable I’d end up playing Ukulele Lady at some point and drag out Petty Booka’s version. I went over to Alligator Boogaloo to check their tab for the intro and found I was playing it differently to the way they have it tabbed. I reckon […]

The Elected – At Home (Time Unknown) (Chords) It’s getting difficult to work out exactly what independent bands are independent of. Anyhoo.

Funeral March (midi) This tune has to be one of the most downbeat ever written. It’s so deep and gloomy it makes Leonard Cohen sound like Samanda. That means it’s not entirely convincing on the usually light and sprightly uke. The Funeral March is probably best played as a little throwaway joke than a serious […]

London Bridge Is Falling Down (midi) There’s something very sinister about most nursery rhymes. Most real nursery rhymes. The ones that have been passed down through the generations, not the ones that have been passed down from purple dinosaurs. They’re quite often used in horror films (such as The Haunting) and this particular tune was […]
