How rude of me - I just began posting randomly without noticing or adding to the introductions thread - sorry about that.
I'm based in East Anglia and I've only been playing ukulele for a couple of months but I'm completely hooked. I have a mahogany soprano and I'm expecting a koa concert to arrive any moment now.
So far, apart from learning the basics and practising changing through chords as smoothly as possible, all I've really achieved is to learn a handful of tunes I like by Beirut, Bon Iver etc... My most recent addiction is strumming along to Nantes, which helped with my fan, mute and finding individual strings!
I have found this forum, ukulelereviews and the many and various uke owners who have recorded tips and tutorials on YouTube completely invaluable, as I'm not a particularly young dog and had never played an instrument of any kind before falling for the ukulele.
My biggest inspiration though, is of course Tia Kelley.
