Ukulele Tales - Marc Gallagher

Marc Gallagher

Ukulele Tales

This week I chat with the awesome British musician, Marc Gallagher about:

  • Memorising songs easily - he has over 700 learnt off by heart!
  • His numerous collabs
  • Perfect Pitch - how he found out he had it, how he puts it to good use, and why it's a blessing and a curse
  • How many different instruments he plays
  • Attending GNUF as a teenage sound engineer and stealing the show at an open mic set
  • Being proud to be an openly bi musician, and how that effects his music
  • Minorities in the ukulele world, and trying to eradicate hate speech in music
  • Receiving negativity for being open about his sexuality
  • Starting the ukulele at 11 to learn the Crazy Frog theme!
  • Why he’d rather play Led Zeppelin than George Formby
  • Writing and recording his own music - and his nightmare debut performance at a school talent show

And much, much more!
