this is not a uke tour. ed is promoting his new album, 'ukulele songs', a collection of tunes from around 2000. back then, he made an ep and gave it to some friends. it is now getting released with some other newer stuff, and sounds great. 'longing to belong', with the backing cello, is f***ng beautiful. i would encourage anyone who can make it, to go. he'll play uke for a few tunes, and some mando, guitar for most. here's the playlist for his last show in perth -
