This week's conversation with Jake Shimabukuro was recorded at the Grand Northern Ukulele Festival in Huddersfield, back in the summer. A big thank you to Jake, for being so generous with his time, his manager Brett Lind for coordinating everything, and also to Mary-Agnes Krell, the GNUF head honcho for making it all possible.
We discuss how emotional it was performing live again following Covid, and what an important role the ukulele played in bringing everyone back together again. Jake also talks about how he puts together - and constantly evolves - his fantastic arrangements of classic tunes. And he even tells the story of how he once played for the Queen!
If you want to help support the podcast, please share it with your ukulele friends and communities. You can also directly fund it and receive bonus content by signing up to my Patreon.
Next week's episode is the last one of the year, so let me know your ukulele new year's resolutions now and I'll read some of them out on the show. Until then, I wish you all a very, merry Christmas.

Tyler Austenfeld from TenThumbsPro
This week I'm up in London talking to Tyler Austenfeld aka TenThumbsPro on YouTube. Like me, Tyler is one of the OG online ukulele instructors and has seen and done it all. Not only has he been a full-time online music instructor for over a decade (although he hates to be referred to as a YouTuber!), he also has a passion for traveling, and an insatiable appetite for learning music.
We discuss everything in this hour-long episode, and if you're still hungry for more at the end of it there's a bonus ten minutes available on my Patreon page!
Next week's episode is the Christmas special, with Jake Shimabukuru! Let me know how the ukulele fits into your festive plans this year. Are you performing in any concerts, going carol singing, playing in church? Let me know! Also what ukuleles or uke-related items are you hoping to find in your Christmas stocking?
Enjoy :)

Mandi Harkett of Opera-Lele
Today I'm chatting with Mandi Harkett - one half of the tremendous duo, Opera-Lele!
We talk about what happens when you're about to have the biggest year of your career when a global pandemic strikes. And how do you build back up once things start to open up again? What do you do when Facebook takes down the page you've spent years building? And does she really have a DeLorean?
We also talk about what ukuleles you got for Christmas!
Enjoy :)
