Ukulele News - 18 March 2012

After a short holiday break, we now return to a ukulele news round up from the last couple of weeks.


Is it possible to have a news week without a new article telling us that the ukulele is seeing a rise in popularity - Apparently not... (and that is just one of dozens out there this last week).

--------------------------------------

In in the same vein, is it possible to have a week without a Jake Shimabukuro article?

--------------------------------------

A Noisy ukulele???

--------------------------------------

Short interview with Bangkok ukulele tutor, Pennapang Chaydan.

-------------------------------------

An interview with George Hinchcliffe of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.

-------------------------------------

And another Australian article on the UOGB (they are on tour over there)

-------------------------------------

Not only did George Formby play the ukulele as part of his act, he played it to serenade his bride.

-------------------------------------

Eddie Vedder to play his first ever UK solo shows - with ukulele of course!

-------------------------------------

I'm delighted to hear that the Berkhamsted Ukulele Random Players (BURP) concert for Unicef raised over £2,500 for charity.  Great video too featuring Krabbers amongst others. Well done to all who contributed.

------------------------------------

For those in the UK of a certain age, you will know why I feel like Esther Rantzen on That's Life with this next link - a dog who plays the ukulele.....




More news next week!
