1) Tell us how you started playing the ukulele. (How long ago? Did you play other instruments before?)<\/strong><\/p>\nI hadn’t picked up a uke before coming to Moselele. I’ve dabbled with a few instruments before, which I played appallingly before setting fire to them in a fit of rage. So far the uke has avoided this fate.<\/p>\n
2) What uke(s) do you play? (Have you made any adjustments\/personalised it? Do you use a plectrum?)<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m currently playing a light brown one, it looks like a tiny guitar but with four strings rather than six. The one I play is not one of the very small ones but one of the ones that’s a bit bigger.<\/p>\n 3) Do you remember your first Moselele? (What prompted you to come along? What were your first impressions?)<\/strong><\/p>\n Paul PD<\/a> had pestered me to go to Moselele for about six months. Having eventually relented I turned up without a uke. Daz<\/a> and I worked in the same office at the time and there was a nice ‘oh it’s you’ moment when I walked in.<\/p>\n 4) What keeps you coming back to Moselele?<\/strong><\/p>\n Paul knows secrets about me which he has threatened to post on social media if I stop going.<\/p>\n 5) What’s your favourite Moselele song?<\/strong><\/p>\n I still love Black Kids…<\/p>\n 6) What’s your usual Moselele tipple?<\/strong><\/p>\n San Miguel and then a diet Coke (is diet Pepsi ok? Yes that’s fine).<\/p>\n 7) Do you practise at home? (What do your family\/housemates\/pets think?)<\/strong><\/p>\n The quality of my playing should be a fairly strong indicator of the fact that I don’t practise much.<\/p>\n 8) What’s your favourite Moselele story\/memory (so far)?<\/strong><\/p>\n The crowd launching into an impromptu ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ at last year’s Snowselele.<\/p>\n If you like ukes being played in an airless room by people with questionable personal hygiene then this is for you.<\/p>\n 10) Tell us a secret.<\/strong><\/p>\n If I did tell you then that would break the spell and I wouldn’t have to come to Moselele any more… which would be a shame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We had a bit of a break for Easter (alright, we forgot to post anything) but we’re back with more questions – and answers! – for our Meet Moselele slot.
