The Saturday UkeTube

Far too many videos this week. A couple of Hawaiian masters, a ukulele/melodica cover of Beck, GUGUG, a bit of English folk music, loads of other stuff. Click More to see them all.

I love a bit of traditional English folk music. I wish more people sang like this.

Mattiniero – The Whistling Ukulele Troubadour

Jules – Jolene
[youtube 09nq_udcZtk]

I think Jools Holland would be much improved if it was filmed by a team of five year olds. Sound certainly would.

GUGUG – Destination Venus

The Jack Lords – 6 Months on a Leaky Boat
[youtube cqEOlCXz9k4]

Watch the full session on MUD.

The Re-Entrants – Tainted Love

    You’re welcome, Thomas. I loved the performance. Great whistling.

    Hello,
    Phil from the Re-entrants here – thanks for posting ‘Tainted Love’. Maduke, the way we play it, the chords are Dm, F, Bb, F (then add the G note on the 3rd fret of the second string, then take it off again to complete the riff!). The lead in to the chorus if D (major this time), F , Bb, Gm.
    Keep on uking!

  11. Woodshed February 19th, 2008 10:02 pm

    You’re welcome, Phil. So, spill the secret, how did you manage to get on the first page when you search for ‘ukulele’ on YouTube?

  12. Phil Doleman February 20th, 2008 2:08 pm

    I wish I new! We posted loads of videos, none of which went over 1000 views in several months, then suddenly this one went crazy. 14,000 views within a couple of weeks and front page on you Tube! It’s a mystery to me…

Got something to say?
