Here's a song I just can't stop playing!

Been jamming a few Django tunes recently with a flautist and a bass player. Here's our first attempt at recording one. Still needs work! :-)

It's been a while since I posted a video here and as this little song from 1928 has been stuck in my head for the last couple of days, I decided to have a go at recording it. 'Better out than in' as they say!

I haven't been around these parts much recently, I should probably dip in a bit more often! Here's an oldie from the 20's from me: I like the oldies! :)

Just realised I haven't posted any songs here recently. We're still making regular live recordings at our rehearsal sessions and now have a nice new shiny Zoom R16 recorder which allows us to use more mics. The recordings are all done in one take, but it allows us to adjust the levels after, to...

Our bash at Somewhere Beyond The Sea/La Mer by Charles Trenet in both English and French!

Been mucking about with this over the last couple of days and as I had nothing better today, I had a bash at recording it. It definitely still needs some work! :)

I teamed up with my friend Becca and her lovely voice once again for this one and kept the ukulele playing pretty minimal! Please feel free to comment etc.

Hi Folks Just a quick post to let you know that there is a new ukulele session/get together in Oxford UK. We meet every other Monday night at the Port Mahon (pub). 7.30 - 10.00pm. Details at: http://www.oxfordukuleles.co.uk/ or Facebook group...

I've always loved this song, so I teamed up with a friend who can actually sing on this one, so you don't have to listen to me wailing! Any comments. constructive criticism gratefully received!
