Incredibly my bands 1st album has been listed in the top 100 new music albums of 2009 by a BIG UK radio station.

It's a ukulele album....and it's in with a chance of winning NEW MUSIC ALBUM of the year from Xfm which is basically the UK's biggest independent music radio station!

Some of you know the bobby mcgees as I'm often on here mouthing off about how ace we are..posting my new songs and videos and such like...if not:

and here's my latest wee live video:

Please go vote for The Bobby McGees album on the xfm music awards:
http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/2010/xfms-new-music-awards-2010-the-contenders

Link to vote is at the bottom of that page!

They have our album listed as:

The Bobby McGees - 'L'Appropriation Bourgoisie De La Bobby McGees' (Cherryade)

We're in the top 100 so far, but up against a lot of heavyweights!

My fave' other two are...
The Lovely Eggs / Das Wunderlust

They are good friends of mine who we've played with lots (They also both play ukes!)

Please go vote..the U U could possibly swing this thing!

It would be amazing for us obviously...but also for our tiny wee record label CHERRYADE...which is basically ran out of a bedroom in Manchester by a blind girl & her boyfriend!

Guys..I'd be doing the uke world a huge disservice if I let this slip out of sight before the closing date.

I'll happily come back here and talk about what strings are better....which size uke you need and why I love my Koaloha after I win this thing....but first guys...you gotta go vote!

ok...here's a song from the album...with pretty girls and playing instructions...what more do you want..blood?
 
Last day to vote (Thursday!)

Here's another LIVE video....it's pretty easy to see from the audience response that there simply is nothing out there to touch The Bobby McGees.
How you gonna feel when, in a few years time your Grandchildren "rediscover" us in a "velvet Underground" stylee....then they'll ask you how you voted.....You want your grandchildren to love you...right?



The song is called "A Little bit Of Love Goes A Long Way"...it's one of the 5 greatest ukulele songs of the last decade*
and while, yes, a little love does go a long way....a little vote goes a loooooonnnnng way as well.

Thank you for the international ukulele camraderie....see ya at our MTV unplugged show!
