We took part in the recent Sky One HD series ‘Must Be The Music’, we got to play at the rather nice Bridgewater Hall in Manchester for celebrity judges: Jamie Cullum, Sharleen Spiteri and Will Young.
They liked us, gave us three yes’s and put us onto the judges short list… We didn’t make it to the final 15 though but you can see how they get on by catching the live finals over the coming weeks on Sky One.
Uke Sundays is next week at the Rude Shipyard again, strum on down!
Sun 15th @ 2pm

Hi all.
Whilst the nation was mourning the England game, we re launched our ukulele jam session called Ukulele Sunday but at our new venue – The Rude Shipyard, a neat cafe and bookshop on Abbeydale Road in Sheffield.
We had a fun afternoon, some beginners who were brave enough to have a go and some of the old gang who’ve worked out a few chords by now – so we recorded this little jam of the classic ‘five foot two’ with a few extra guests on piano (a neat little one they have in the cafe) and a mandolin that they have upstairs too… We had fun!

We’ve been in London this weekend to visit a few nice shops and chill out etc, whilst heading through spitalfields market Jake was approached and asked to take part in a fashion promo where he (and others) have their photos posted on Facebook and the one with the most friends who ‘like’ them get some free tickets to a festival!
The competition ends tonight but don’t worry as JLS are playing at the festival anyway…
Here’s a recent recording of the band posted using soundcloud… It was recorded during our set at the Belper Ukulele Day.
Been working at RUFC’s end of season dinner this evening. We set up a whole bunch of screens and lights and it looked kinda nice. We also had live interactive voting for the goal of the season too… here’s a piccy!
Nice.
Jake did a nice job of branding Andycams van for our gig last week!
I found out yesterday that the Santa Monica video that Jake and I recorded and then Andycam and I filmed was featured in this weeks youtube round up on ukulele hunt.
Thanks to Al – it’s great to be on such a great site and in such great company too! Cheers.
Here’s the video – you can click through to youtube and watch it in HD as well…
