After the rip-roaring success of last weeks round-up (at least 4 people read it, although I was one of them). Here we go with another one…
Will Grove White Interview
Will Grove White has played at Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House, is the author of Get Plucky with the Ukulele and one eighth of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. When he’s not playing with the orchestra he’s busy composing songs for film and TV – well, either that or playing the nose flute.
I was lucky enough to get chance to interview Will about all things ukulele…
Big Me by Foo Fighters – Ukulele Lesson
I finally got around to recording another video lesson. I went for Big Me by the Foo Fighters (which for you kids out there, is from back when they were good)…
Today – Smashing Pumpkins Ukulele Riff
While I’m clamping down on playing by ear I’m probably going to be posting various little riffs and stuff on the site that I work out. Today it’s Today (that was an accident) by The Smashing Pumpkins…

I keep finding ukulele stuff all around the web and I figured it would be a good idea to do a weekly round up. So without further ado, here’s this week’s round up…
Lanikai LUTU-21P Soprano TunaUke Review
Is this the start of a little bit of UAS (Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome) for me? I’m now the proud owner of a second ukulele – a lovely little Lanikai Soprano TunaUke (pineapple) in Mahogany. I’ve had this uke for a few weeks now, so here’s my thoughts and a few pics too…
Percussion/Tapping On A Ukulele
I keep coming back to tapping on my ukulele, I think it’s because I’m always looking for ways to make it sound a little bit more full. I’ve played around with a rhythm ring and every now and again I try and do a little bit of James Hill style stuff (although obviously nowhere near as good).
Octopus Soprano Ukulele Review
I have to admit I’ve been wanting to get my hands on an Octopus soprano ukulele to try out for quite a while now. Firstly because I’ve read good things about them (for the price) and secondly as I’m eventually going to do some custom artwork on a ukulele and it’s a likely candidate.
Well, I’m now the proud owner of an Octopus soprano so here’s my thoughts…
My Favourite Ukulele Websites
Ok I’ll admit it, I spend far too much time on ukulele websites – there are worse things to do though (or so I’m told). Anyway, here’s a list (in no particular order) of the ones that I spend the most time on…
Mersey Belles Interview
The Mersey Belles, also known as cousins Nancy and Pearl are making waves with their ukuleles. Their unique act sees them beautifully performing classic songs from the 20s through to the 50s with an alternative spin on a few modern hits in there too. They made waves at The Grand Northern Ukulele Festival in 2014 and look set to have another big year in 2015.
