While I’m spending the weekend rocking out at Download (METAAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!), you pansies can enjoy some la-di-da ukulele music including Bess Rogers, another ukulele playing ninja and a song about rain from, official International City of Rain 1987-2008, Manchester..
Darren Hanlon – All These Things
Thanks to Issy.
Lullatone – Bedroom Bossa Band
Helen Keller’s Ukulele – Pipe Dream
needofriendly – Make the Change
Thanks to Ukulollo.
Download? There’s a World Cup to watch, simples.
WS… U always amaze me in the things that you find. i am mesmerized by darren hanolon ‘all these things’ so camp… but so great. also thanks for Sanford and Song. thanks
Checked out the lineup for Download fest (I’m guessing what once was “Monsters of Rock”?) and couldn’t believe Saxon are still around! Motorcycle Man! Princess of the Night! DENIM AND LEATHER!!!
…and since you’re there Woodshed, try getting a uke into Lemmy’s hands. (It could help alleviate our pansy reputations!)
(thanks Mark O!)
Even Them Crooked Vultures, RATM and Aerosmith still cannot sway me in my decision for “Download Festival or Die?” but have fun anyway.
Thanks Al, you just helped me become an instant fan of Holland Greco (and Princess Frank). I really like the combo of uke and drums.
and the bossa nova band’s pretty wonderful
and yes, more metal would be nice, well not ‘nice’ exactly…;)
Yay! Darren Hanlon!
Cheers Al :)
I LOVE Bess Rogers, I just saw her on tour with Ingrid Michaelson, I would positively DIE for more of her songs!!
Any chance of a Lamb of God laid to rest uke arrangement, or something similar?
Jam: Agreed. But not too much metal being played on the ukulele. Very little evidence of it at Download.
byjimini: Haven’t watched any World Cup so far and have no plans to do so.
Mark O: Glad you enjoyed.
rico: Yeah, I really like that Holland Greco track too.
Issy: No, thank you.
Katie: Don’t die. I think she’ll release more even if you’re alive.
Matt: Not much chance from me, I’m afraid.
Darren Hanlon is amazing
Desperately awaiting chords for Darren Hanlon’s song…hint hint!!
I love love love Darren Hanlon and would be ever so happy to stumble across the chords to any of his songs on this website. Other uke songs by Darren include a ukulele cover of “Don’t Stop” by Fleetwood Mac which is out in the ether somewhere, and another uke song called “Hold On” from his Fingertips and Mountaintops record…
Peter, Mandy, Gillen: Hint taken. I might well write it up.
