weekday comedown

Well that was a busy weekend - not only have we had a great gig and taking part in the world record attempt at the ukulele festival, but there was a great top of the pops night as well! Videos and photos to come up, but in the mean time you can play spot the rishi (with ukulele not charango for a change!)!

A more personal blog

So I've started a more personal blog - it will reflect more things that I think about rather than just being news items, which this one here is. Hopefully it will be fun to read. Try it if you dare!

Saturday 20th June gigs

We'll be wearing Hawaiian shirts in the afternoon at the London Ukelele Festival!!!

Tasteful!

This should be quite a big event - we'll be on the second stage I think between 1 and 2. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain will be there as will 700+ other players in an attempt to break a world record! Its basically next to Liverpool Street Station.

Later on that evening we hope to be dressed as Jimmy Saville for a Top Of The Pops themed night out as well. On of those all night parties that should turn out to be a load of fun!

music archives

We've just started a bandcamp site which allows people to download our entire back catalogue of music. We've had a rather haphazard approach to the whole digital download thing - this means that there will at least be ONE co-ordinated place to get our stuff from. Why not wander over and have a look?

ukulele fun

Well we hada great bash at the Ukey Love night at The Snooty Fox in London for my birthday fun. It was great, and it looks like we may get a spot at the London Ukulele Festival out of it! Watch this space for more!

501 not out

So after three years we now have matched Brian Lara's highest ever first class innings total in terms of myspace friends. Thank you all. I may waste time posting something on peoples message boards.


In my entire cricketing career I think I have scored less that 501 runs in total, but as to our feat of Myspace friends, Brian Lara can't match that. He doesn't even have a myspace page. If you don't follow cricket this may not have made much sense to it. But then what do I say that does?

Noone Else: Living Draw

A friend of a friend dropped an email to me a few months ago asked for permission to choose a song as a backdrop to a Living Draw. This was an entirely new concept to me, but having had a look at what she'd done, I was pretty impressed, so gave the thumbs up.

Anyway the end result is now up - its a story about a piece of wood. I have to say I am pretty impressed by it - it left me feeling emotional at the end.
