    Good luck.

    Will you sit on something while you play? I don't know much about the old ukulele.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

      If I'm accepted I expect it to be an unforgettable evening.

      I'd better get practicing...

        How cool !! The Uke is very under-rated. I grew up in Wigan, home of George Formby, and I myself have and play a Banjo Uke. When I was 15, I played in front of a crowd of 50 or more Silver Tops and sung songs about the war! They loved it and I'm sure you'll get a warm reception too!

        The year after, I played it again and a string snapped but I carried on regardless but it sounded tulipe and they clapped out of sympathy I'm sure. How humiliating ...

            Could be. I'll let you know if the organiser's let me do it (pretty likely though - they like a laugh...)
