The Uk e ulele Orchestra

Shot with Olympus E500
Normal service is not yet resumed but, thanks to those wonderful guys at Olympus I now have a camera to use.

And use it I have. Tonight I managed to catch the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain performing at Spitz in Spitalfields. If you get the chance, do go and see them. The music will surprise and please you, the performance will amuse and entertain.

While you are at it, Sign the petition to save the Spitz.

Normal service will be resumed.......just not quite yet

If you've got any doubts about the Ukes, this recording changed my musical snobbery forever:
