Saturday UkeTube: PJ Harvey, Melissa Polinar

Warning! One of these videos autoplays – I couldn’t figure out a way to stop it. But it isn’t on YouTube and I like it. It’s the first one if you’re desperate to stop it. Revenge of the cute ukulele girl this week with Melissa Polinar looking to be on a collision course for Boing […]

Saturday UkeTube: Ugly, Hairy Man Edition

Back in the day I felt the need to argue that the ukulele wasn’t just for uggos like Tiny and Formby but sexy people played it too. How the times change. Now I feel the need to say, “Ugly men play the ukulele too.” So this edition of UkeTube features plenty of facial hair and […]

Saturday UkeTube

I assume everyone is subscribed to Bosko and Honey and has already seen the incredible Kamatetsu. If not, go there right now. With that done, check out this week’s videos including some cheerup music, some throat singing, a tribute to ukulele girls and – this week’s Boing Boing contender -a song about cannibalism.

Saturday UkeTube: Brianna Price, Esther Walker & Ed Smalle

I never thought it would happen but there’s a ukulele cover of The Beatles I like. But you still won’t find it in this week’s roundup as she also has a heartbreakingly brilliant original song. As much as I like light-hearted ditties about facial hair and bunnies, I love it when people sing a song […]

Corner Laughers, Tomotaka Matsui: UkeTube

New videos from the Corner Laughers, GUGUG, The Sweet Hollywiians’ Tomotaka Matsui on lap steel ukulele and plenty more.

UkeTube: Rocky and Balls

I try not to feature two videos from the same act in a week, so I’m fudging it by having one video from Rocky and Balls and one from just Rocky or Balls (I give it about 3 weeks until they’re on Boing Boing). Along side them are plenty of old friends (including GUGUG, Jake […]

UkeTube: Erin Lang, Dent May, The Half Sisters

This favourite new find of the week is The Half Sisters who make up for a load of girly jaw-flapping and squeeing with a couple of great songs and plenty of Peggy Sue style shounting (shouting + counting = shounting). And, of course, there’s love in the air for Ukulele Ike’s dogs and Ukulelezo’s insect […]

UkeTube: Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer, Justin Nozuka

Hi! My name is Al and this is my entry into the Frunky McNorman World Bring The Mmmbop Blog Posts About 80s Ukulele Videos Ukulele Video Contest.

Saturday UkeTube

Another girl whose uke is out of tune but her soul is very much in tune: Wisdom Tooth. And she’s gone above and beyond to entertain by gluing her feet to the wall and singing sideways. Also this week is Ken Middleton being inspired by Kandinsky, Minor Constellations covering Kanye, Amber Nash’s new duo Shiny […]

Ukulele Video of the Year 2008: Your Vote

The nominations for Ukulele Video of the Year are in and I’ve come up with a list of 11 videos as contenders. I think it provides a pretty good overview of the ukulele scene at the moment: orchestras and solo acts; originals and covers; songs and instrumentals; pros and ams. Some surprises though. No Bosko […]
