I know, I know, it’s been over a month since I insisted everyone should fill out Meet Moselele questionnaires, then only published one. But I didn’t want to get in the way of gig announcements and singalongs and all the rest of it. I hear you’re all dying to know what goes on in the heads of your fellow players, though, so I’m sneaking one in.<\/p>\n
And today, it’s Peter H. Check out the completely seasonally appropriate photo, by the way (I think the H stands for “hhholidays are comin’, holidays are comin’…”)<\/p>\n
Take it away, Pete!<\/p>\n
1) Tell us how you started playing the ukulele. (How long ago? Did you play other instruments before?) <\/strong><\/p>\n I only started in January. My sons bought me a ukulele for Christmas as I kept saying that I wanted to learn but never seemed to get round to it.<\/p>\n 2) What uke(s) do you play? (Have you made any adjustments\/personalised it? Do you use a plectrum?) <\/strong><\/p>\n Mine is made by Pure Tone but I get ukulele envy with some that are in the group, especially the bass uke.<\/p>\n 3) Do you remember your first Moselele? (What prompted you to come along? What were your first impressions?) <\/strong><\/p>\n I found you on tinternet and sent Daz a message, who said just come along. My first meeting I found everyone really welcoming and helpful and friendly.<\/p>\n 4) What keeps you coming back to Moselele? <\/strong><\/p>\n I want to learn and enjoy the songs in the songbooks.<\/p>\n 5) What’s your favourite Moselele song?<\/strong><\/p>\n Geno. [GE-NO! GE-NO! GE-NO! GE-NO! —Ed]<\/em> \u00a0 First time I heard it at group, with the kazoos, was brilliant.<\/p>\n 6) What’s your usual Moselele tipple?<\/strong><\/p>\n Titanic plum porter<\/p>\n 7) Do you practise at home? (What do your family\/housemates\/pets think?)<\/strong><\/p>\n I practise at home in the conservatory, usually while the soaps are on.<\/p>\n 8) What’s your favourite Moselele story\/memory (so far)?<\/strong><\/p>\n First time we played Copacabana I was really struggling\u2026 then looked up to see 4 or 5 other people in the same position.<\/p>\n [UPDATE: as of June…]<\/em>\u00a0my new favourite moment was the summer singalong. Never done anything like that before, what a great night. [I told you I’d been sitting on these answers for too long! — Ed]<\/em><\/p>\n 9) What would you say to anyone thinking of joining? <\/strong><\/p>\n Jump in with both feet!<\/p>\n 10) Tell us a secret.<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019ve just adopted a rescue chihuahua.<\/p>\n Altogether now, aahhhh! If you’d like to fill in a Meet Moselele questionnaire, there’s a Word doc you can download and fill in on the Moselele Facebook group<\/a>. Or just email emma@editorialgirl.co.uk<\/a> and I’ll send you one. Those we have loved and lost… and those who just keep coming back.
