More Ukulele Stickers!

I seem to blog about ukulele themed stickers quite a bit don't I? Well I am kind of hooked on them and a hard ukulele case to me looks bare without them. In fact, the back of plastic ukes also look bare in my opinion!

So many thanks to Phil Doleman for furnishing me with an official Re-entrants sticker which you can see below, proudly displayed on the back of my Fluke uke. In fact that instrument has now run out of space...

You can read more about the guys when the spoke to Got A Ukulele HERE.

And if YOU have a thing for ukulele themed stickers - send me your pictures and if I get enough of them I will collate them into a blog article!

Phil Doleman - Maydes Are Simple Some Men Say

Do having interviewed ukulele duo The Re-entrants, and than sharing a video from One half of the pair it seemed hardly fair to leave Phil out.

So I remembered this piece, an example of some tab you can get hold of from from His website in his book that contains tablature arrangements of the 17th Century composer Thomas Campion.

And some people think the uke is just about Jason Mraz covers.... This is lovely!

Ukulele Vid - Croonalonga Watchtower

Love this ukulele vid from Ian of the Re-entrants.

I am always a big fan of the uke being used to play a well known song in a style that you wouldn't normally expect, and this does that. The video also gets a notable mention as I have it on authority that this Ohana Baritone uke Ian is playing is strung with a set of uke strings new to the market, and brought to us by Ken Middleton. I'm currently testing his tenor set of Living Water strings and will be giving you my thoughts on GAU soon. As you can see, these Bari scale strings sound just great!




You can now get Living Water strings via Ken's site
