\nI bought one for Daz, although he didn’t really play it until we started Moselele. I can play all the instruments though so uke was easy. I’m the most musical of the whole group of them really. I actually know about things like keys and majors and minors and stuff how all that works. I’m really good and can pick out tunes and work out chords, just like that. I also play plastic bugle, piano, bass, flute, recorder, melodica, accordion, kazoo, flexatone, sackbutt, barrel organ, conche shell, that bit of hosepipe with a funnel on the end that you swirl round your head thingy, steam calliope, and swannee whistle. I’m excellent at swannee whistle. You can make songs sound really rude with a sweep of the swannee whistle.
\n…..Oh, And I almost forgot to mention the xylophone.<\/p>\n
\nI don’t actually own my very own uke but use one of Daz’s. I do use a plectrum. Felt, of course. I have a range of felt plecs and get emotionally attached to them, especially if they are lucky or just nice ones. My favourite is called Gavin.<\/p>\n
\nI’d rather not talk about it. The horror. You don’t know, man. You weren’t there.
\nWe had tea and biscuits. Seems wrong now. Luckily we changed that otherwise we could have been a tea and biscuit sort of ukulele group.<\/p>\n
\nWell if I don’t then they just turn up round my house anyway so I have little choice. Although they are an ace group of people, especially Ian and Paul. They’re my favourites.<\/p>\n
\nI’d really like to do Yellow by Coldplay and Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol but Daz always takes them out of the songbook so we have to do 80s stuff. I do like Look of Love by ABC though because I’m the only person who can the do the “Whoa Whoa Whoah!” bit correctly. The others always get too excited and come in too soon on it. The fools. That’s why I have my own special T-shirt that says “Whoa Whoa Whoa.” It’s in purple. I like purple.<\/p>\n
\nDooooooom Bar. And if there’s a bag of pork scratchings about I’ll steal them.<\/p>\n
\nOnly when they all turn up to practise before a gig. Sometimes I try to pretend I’m out and hide but they make me come and join in. One time I hid all night. I really wanted to go to the toilet but I couldn’t because they’d hear when I flushed. When they come round it annoys the cat because they all sit in his favourite chair and want to be his friend.<\/p>\n
