Walk off the Earth have certainly had a good start to 2012. Their five-people-on-one-guitar Gotye cover hit it big and they had plenty of other excellent videos to back it up. Including some uke action.

Gianni and Sarah [Walk off the Earth] – Cheers (Drink to That)

Ukulele Loki has a new music video that fans will enjoy, Al. Corey Fujimoto’s gorgeous performance of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” on a Kanilea GL-6

Not nearly enough Hawaiian videos on uke blogs.
Don’t know why. Not nearly enough Spiraltones videos, period. Come on…
Balcony TV is a prime source for uke videos. And good ones at that. Just this past week I watched recent ones from Dublin, Cork, and Austin.
Almost forgot…There are some Petty Booka ver. 2012 videos out now.
