Ukulele World Record - London

[Ben Speed]

Hey All
This is a little vid of an excellent day we had in London, smashing the world record for number of ukulele players playing one song together.
Seriously good vibe. A little piece of Hawaii fell on east london.
Keep the faith

Do Europeans view the ukulele with greater respect than most Americans? I still find people who think it's just a novelty item and I always have to explain to them that it's an instrument, not just some toy. Or is that incident common in the EU as well.

Fantastic! What a great group of friends you have....

Must have been a rockin' day!

Guy's thanks so much for all the comments. Uke's are big news in London at the moment. I've been to a couple of uke themed gigs recently and they're packed. Geniune interest but it still isn't seen as a proper instrument.

I'd love to be to see some of the seriously talented ukulele player like James Hill, Aldrine Guerrero or Jake Shimabukuro play in London. Some friends of mine do the Black Cab Sessions for artists in the UK. Check out the link. Great to see some heavy wait uke players on there too.

Come and see us in London soon. The weathers can be cold and grey, but there's always a party!

Massive love to all at Ukulele Underground.

Wish I'd been there. Always amazed at the number of uke players out there from all over the world.
