Some outstanding videos posted while I was away including Bartt and James covering Led Zep, Misty Miller finally winning my wholehearted support by doing a song to benefit the Woodland Trust, Matt Kresling on the rapture (which will mean only wicked heathen sinners are reading this post – just like every other week) and new […]

This week’s videos include O’Death doing a track from their new album, blues growling from Hal and the Baron, Janne Saar (Estonia’s Britney Spears) and plenty more good-timing action besides.

A genre hopping week this week with soul from Celisse Henderson, backwoods punk from the Denver City Saltlicks (and check out their badass diddley bow riffing) and reggae from Tribal Theory along with the usual bits of instrumental wizardry and girls with jazzy voices. If you’re looking for some non-uke action, take a listen to […]

A big, fat happy half-century to Phredd for his birthday on Monday. In celebration, him and his buddies playing 42 Monkeys. Also this week: woodland indie-folk from We Aeronauts, NSFW language from Garfunkel and Oates, some Whokulele silliness from Jo Stephenson, the new one from Sophie Madeleine and the Sophie Madeleines and plenty more. New […]

Burberry are throwing a lot of nice clothes at ukers: Misty Miller, General Fiasco, Acoma and, this week, Pegasus Bridge. If this is general policy, can I put in an order for one of these? Size: the fattest one you make. Not quite so well dressed but just as entertaining this week are Hawaiian soloist […]

A slight stretching of the rules this week to include Melodica Melody and Me’s charango. Well worth it I think. People actually playing ukuleles this week include The Original Rude Boys, Diane Rubio, Chester Gaylord and plenty more. Not in the line-up but of interest: Zooey Deschanel doing the Winnie the Pooh theme with a […]

Videos this week include Manitoba Hal (from an an interview and session he did for Roots Music Canada), the Future Laureates, the welcome return of Ukulelezo and the long anticipated debut of, friend of Uke Hunt, cardboardfrog. These videos weren’t posted on April Fools Day but I can’t help being suspicious.

Two songs this week from the original Mr Tiptoe Through the Tulips Nick Lucas along with the new single from tUne-yArDs (if you want more of her, NPR recorded a show at SXSW). tUnE-yArDs’s new album, w h o k i l l, is coming out soon and I can’t wait. One video that didn’t […]

Dear about a million people, Yes, I’ve heard Taimane’s Toccata. I featured it here and this was the reaction. Hugs and smooches, Al P.S. Taimane’s new one is in this week’s round-up along with Te Ava Piti from Raiatea, The Cotton Dons (one of whom inherited a love a uke from his granddad Joe Brown) […]

In honour of the weather warming up a bit here (with apologies to those places under snow) a couple of summery tunes this week from Hellogoodbye and Shugo Tokumaru. Highlight of the week is the video of Mel Torme busting out the bari that Shelley discovered. And there’s plenty more jazz this week from Sarah […]
