Away In A Manger - UK version

Ken Middleton · Dec 18, 2010

I am not a big fan of Christmas. However, this is one of my favourite Christmas carols.

It doesn't have the same tune as the usual US version, but I have included it in my new eBook. Find it here:

12 Hymn Tunes for Ukulele.

Hope you enjoy.

Ken, I love your picking of these types of songs. They are so soothing. I feel like sitting in front of a roaring fire contemplating the past year while listening to this song.

Thank you Ronnie. It was a good year for me. I hope it was the same for you. And have a fantastic 2011.

very nice Ken. Beautifully picked and conveys the sentiment of the piece well. I am just going to have to dig into Audacity to learn how to use it. Love the sound you get from running it through the program. By the way, been intending to thank you for the tab/notation on Ashokan Farewell. I have a couple of versions of it (piano) but really like your pick version. I also much appreciate the musical notation with your tabs. I play only from music notation and it really helps me. Again thanks!! Lozark

Thanks Lozark.

You are very much in a minority. Most people don't even look at the musical notation. I use proper notation for everything else, including guitar. But for ukulele, I use tab. I find it a lot easier, particularly with high G tuning.

Thanks Ken! Nice performance and arrangement. I will buy your eBook right away. Just in time to be given for Christmas with a pod of Dolphins to my brother's family. My brother already plays guitar, organ, piano, oboe, chimes, handbells etc, so I think this group of songs will be just the thing to turn him into a ukulele player.

Thanks Lori.

Your brother can now learn the ukulele with a purpose (or should that be porpoise).
