FAMOUS UKULELE PLAYERS

FAMOUS UKULELE PLAYERS

Ever wondered 'who famously plays the ukulele?' At various times on this blog I have produced lists and photos of famous ukulele players that may surprise you. If you are wondering whether to buy a ukulele or not - just look what esteemed company you will be in for this fun musical instrument!

This is a listing of people other than the obvious uke players such as Jake Shimabukuro, George Formby etc. I haven't missed those people! This is a list of the more surprising candidates!
