Soko – I Will Never Love You More (Chords)(PDF) When I mentioned Soko in my best of 2007 posts, I had no idea she was a ukulelist. Not long after that post, I Will Never Love You More cropped up on her MySpace. I decided right then I’d have to put up the chords, but […]

The Bobby McGee’s – No Friends (mp3) via MySpace. The Bobby McGee’s are Great Britain’s premier ukulele group (and don’t the name of any orchestra suggest otherwise). Their music has been described as, “domestic violence with ukuleles,” and, “Dostoyevsky doing Lonnie Donegan.” I interrogated Jimmy (who, along with Eleanor,is the band’s singer/songwriter/ukulelist section) to find […]

Erika Eigen – I Want To Marry A Lighthouse Keeper (pdf) This song has been a theme tune twice over. It was used in the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange and, more recently, featured in a Marks and Spencer’s ad. The ad features some of the world’s most beautiful women and Myleene Klass (Heather: I’m […]

Three performances from the Ukulele Caravan Tour (Alan Drogin, Craig Robertson and John Kavanagh) along with plenty more.

Some very nice ukes on eBay at the moment. The first one I was tempted not to mention so I could try to snaffle it myself. It’s what appears to be a Dias ukulele. I’d love to have one of these things. They’re the perfect ukulele shape. The price tag is crazy, but this 1920s […]

Ukulele Muxtape. eMusic has a Friday afternoon time waster quiz. Apparently, I’m a Mix-Tape Master (123/180). And I’m still cursing myself about a couple I got wrong. The Ukulele Project draws our attention to ‘Little Bill’ Cosby’s ukulele. Almost certainly the coolest cushions you will ever see. Pssst. You didn’t hear about this secret page […]

Panic at the Disco – I Have Friends in Holy Spaces (Chords) March was quite a month for albums with unexpected ukulele tracks. As well as Portishead’s Deep Water and Van Morrison’s Keep It Simple, there was Panic at the Disco’s I Have Friends in Holy Spaces from the album Pretty. Odd. Needless to say, […]

There are two types of boys at school. Those that want to grow up to be footballers and those who want to be Rock Gods. I was firmly in the second group performing wailing guitar to a stadium full of adoring fans, but I ended up strumming my ukulele in my bedroom. Guitar Gods it […]

Brian Hefferan – The Mama Bear Bounce Anyone who’s been following the blog for a while will know I’m a big fan of Brian Hefferan‘s playing and this tune is certainly no exception. Unlike a lot of Brian’s ukulele pieces, this is a strummed song – which makes it much easier to play. There are […]

I love Google. It’s about the most fantastically useful product there is and it’s free. And it sends me more people than anyone else. AND it keeps coming up with little gadgets that I can’t help but test out. The latest one I’ve taken advantage of is Google Custom Search to create this: Google Ukulele […]
