Soul Music Days
For Season 420, I would like you to do one or more of the following please.
1. Cover any song from the BBC Radio 4 series, Soul Music. There is a link below. Please note that we are not talking about Soul Music in the conventional sense, although the series does feature some songs by artists we would think of as Soul artists.
2. Cover the Kinks song Days. This wonderful song featured in Series 28 of Soul Music, and I would just love to hear your take on it. I know that some of you tend to do almost exclusively original songs, but if you can find time to do Days, that would be fantastic.
3. Write an original that says “Thank you”, in its title or lyrics. You can thank anyone, dead or alive, famous or not. You can thank a thing, eg your car, your socks and slippers, your uke! You can thank a place, or an animal etc. You can thank pretty much anything. So long as you are saying thanks/ expressing a debt of gratitude, even if you mean the opposite, it’s all good.

No song limit.
Multi track, use other instruments and collaborate so long as the ukulele is at the heart of what you do. So if you have a Theremin laying dormant in the back of a cupboard somewhere, now’s the time to include it......possibly.
Season 420 begins at 00.00 Hawaiian time on Sunday 1st March and ends 23.59 on Sunday 8th March, which I dare say you all know, but for anyone who has just joined us....
I will comment on your songs on your YouTube channels as we go, a playlist will appear shortly.
I do not know at this stage if there will be a prize, but I would like to award a token prize or two if I can get organised for it.
Don’t forget that Val’s Season still has a while to go yet, so plenty of time to shed a tear or two on Season 419.
Above all, have fun and keep on uke-ing on
