This was a really fun event that my uke friends and I practically crossed time zones during rush-hour traffic to attend. Ian and his band did a couple of sets mainly of songs from his new songbook, "Ukulele Sing-Along" and invited the audience to sing and play along. What a great idea!
I ended up buying the songbook (even though it meant breaking a self-imposed shopping ban for songbooks - I'm trying to learn to play by ear, dangit!). It's a nice little collection of mostly Tin Pan Alley tunes and comes with a CD to play along with.
I'd love to see more audience-participation uke events like this one. There were probably 40-50 people in the audience - the interest is definitely there. What seems to be lacking, sadly, are venues willing to promote things like this. Sigh.
