EddiePlaysBass Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Hi all, Looking for some ukulele-driven album recommendations. I have Eddie Vedder's album (and the Into The Wild soundtrack) and Lyle Ritz. Genres...I'm a bass player, I'll listen to anything! YouTube links are also welcome, by the way! Quote

pigface Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Hi Eddie, check out James Hill. He is a virtuoso on the uke, and writes (and sings) some great songs too. I saw him twice last year at the Shetland Folk Festival, playing with his wife Anne Janelle. There is plenty of his stuff on YouTube. 1 Quote
EddiePlaysBass Posted February 3, 2019 Author Posted February 3, 2019 Damn that Jake is no slouch!! Thanks, guys. Will also check out James Hill, the name sounds familiar... Quote
gjones Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 When I get to hell, The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain will there be waiting for me (shudder 😱 ). 1 Quote
DaveFry Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Simon Kirke's daughter brought a ukulele home fro school ... 1 Quote
DorsetBlue Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Martin Clunes was speaking to a Ukulele player called Taimane Gardner, in his USA Islands series. She was a rather good player (her Uke was a 5 stringer though!!!) and I think she has made some albums (corporate firewall is preventing me from digging much deeper). 1 Quote
dlloyd Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 The exotic-looking uke is a Fluke... I have one, it's a fab little instrument. 1 Quote
prowla Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 I almost bought one today, but I needed to check the price and I realised I didn't even know there was such a thing as a soprano one. 1 Quote

Whilst I would advise reading up on it first, I would definitely recommend anyone to buy an ukulele. My first was a sopranobut I prefer a concert size. Thinking of getting a tenor soon. Quote

dlloyd Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 You can get a lot of uke for £100. I recommend having a look at this store: https://www.southernukulelestore.co.uk/ Quote
