I was unsure about this song until I heard that ending. It’s brilliant, I can’t stop playing it now! Thanks

He’s released a hell of a lot of albums, as a starting point I’d recommend “The Fidelity Wars”, “We Love The City” (both Hefner) and his new solo album “Pram Town” (and there’s quite a lot of uke on that).

Other than that, the best of Hefner’s a good place to start.

oh, and HWTL are fantastic, but it’s just a little side project. Saw them play in the woods at End of the Road, I think the video’s on their myspace.

Oh that is nice. Thanks once again. I have to say, based on one quick listen to two Hefner albums, nothing grabbed me nearly as much as Greedy, Ugly People – it’s that ending I think – but this other band is interesting.

milko: Don't miss Hayman, Watkins, Trout and Lee as well - his bluegrass band. Dan: I didn't realise he worked at DoU.

Great to see a Darren Hayman song on here. He’s a big uke fan and there’s loads of songs featuring them on his solo albums and EPs.

I think he works at the Duke of Uke shop off Brick Lane, I bought my first uke from him (a rubbish £15 Mahalo) at the End of the Road festival a couple of years ago where they had a stall.

that’s a really nice song which is prompting me to go find more by him/them. Also one I feel like I could probably have a good go at despite being very novice. Hooray and thanks!
