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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

Two versions of MMMBop this week (thanks to the Ukulele Underground thread). But they’ve both found a creative and new way to play it. Also this week is Ian Emmerson of the Re-Entrants‘ epic version of Bat Out of Hell. Usually I wouldn’t include a video where the uke is painfully out of tune, but […]

Man, there are a lot of ukulele videos being uploaded. It seems like the rate their being added goes up every week. Which makes the choice of Ukulele Video of the Year even harder than it was last year (when Sweetafton came out on top). Luckily, it’s not down to me. For the first stage, […]

Part two of the UkeTube includes videos from Bosco and Honey, Ken Middleton and another killer song from Sarah Kinlaw. You can find part 1 here.

With all the videos built up over my break, I couldn’t put them all in one post without breaking the internet. So this first part includes hilarity courtesy of Taylor Mac, Paulina Sinaga and Jen Kwok’s parody of Britney Spears’s Circus; along with top notch songs from tUnE-YaRdS and Emily Wells (why have I not […]

Some great instrumental ukulele videos this week – including versions of Apache, Maunaloa Slack Key and Allemande – as well as plenty of singing (but no Christmas songs). For those of you who do want Christmas songs and have been eagerly anticipating Ballard C Boyd Christmas record this year, you can download it free here.

This week’s vidoes include some hip hop ukulele, Jake playing Jackson, Jodi and Amber playing Jackson, another hit from Toy Horses, and Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome putting their acting chops to good use. But the song I’ve listened to most this week has been Sarah Kinlaw’s Guilty Love.
