I was just testing out my new Oli ukulele, trying a bit of Sometimes When We Touch while checking the camera angle and lighting.
I hadn’t planned to record the whole thing… but it sounded pretty good, so I just kept going and sang the whole song!

This might be the best version of this song since I started going to Ukulele Wednesdays! Took a while to put the video together because I thought I needed to do it justice. Totally worth it. #ukulelewednesdays #dontstopmenow #queen #ukulelejam #livemusic #londonmusicscene #ukulelechords

Two songs, one title: Just the Way You Are. I love both songs, so I mashed them together into a medley. Enjoy!

I’ve been loving Rebecca Sugar’s new album Lonely Magic — and this line from This Is a Love Song is easily my favourite lyric. Clever and powerful.

Two of my favorite songs share the same title—Just The Way You Are. I couldn’t resist blending them into a medley! This clip is from my Ukulele Wednesdays open mic, but I’ve also recorded a full version at home, now up on YouTube.

We had an absolute blast playing the our first gig as Ukey McUkeface at the Angel Canal Festival! The crowd was singing along and bringing so much energy. There’s nothing quite like making music together on the ukulele!

I hadn’t heard this one before, but it popped up on my music streaming app — and I instantly loved it. Just had to grab my ukulele and give it a go!

Sometimes the real chaos at Ukulele Wednesdays hits between songs… with truly hilarious consequences 😂🎶
Someone asked for a faster, rockier version of Hallelujah — and accidentally summoned a DEMON instead.

Here’s a simple, laid-back cover of “I Wish You Love”.

We love this song at Ukulele Wednesdays, even though it has many chords. Watch out for the sneaky Db that pops up just once. We may have gotten a little wild during the demented choir section... but can you blame us?

Doting on someone who gets all the perks but won’t commit? You deserve better than that.

Here I am, absolutely living my best strumming life with the Ukulele Wednesdays gang. My questionable harmonies aside, the joy is real. And apparently, it sounds like the Red Hot Chili Peppers on ukulele. 😄

I’ve been creating these ukulele playalong videos for Ukulele Wednesdays, recorded live in London. Whether you were around in ‘69 or just love rocking out retro-style, this Bryan Adams’ classic “Summer of '69” is a crowd favourite!

I started singing “I Wish You Love”... but apparently my brain wished for something else.
The audience’s laugh was totally worth it though.

This is my cover of David Tao (陶喆)'s song《普通朋友》 (“Just a Friend").
It’s my first time posting a song in Mandarin! Hope you enjoy it! 💛

My cover of “Love Like You” by Rebecca Sugar, the beautiful ending song from Steven Universe. I’m playing it on my Seilen soprano ukulele. It compliments the sweet tune.

No, it’s a Lea Salonga song called ‘We Could Be In Love’. She was the singing voice of Princess Jasmine from the 1992 Disney Aladdin animation.

I performed this beautiful Lewis Capaldi song at an open mic last week. This is a fresh recording in a higher key, on my Anuenue Moonbird tenor ukulele.

This was my first ever open mic playing the ukulele with the aukulele Wednesdays social group. I was nervous but the group was so supportive and encouraging. It made all the difference.

I had a chance to try this exquisite aNueNue Green Bird concert ukulele at The Ukulele Store (TUS) in Hong Kong. I had no idea mahogany could sound so good.

In a white gallery environment, a display of two foot-tall sculptures of the twins in The Shining movie on a pedestal. They were wearing their iconic pale blue dresses and holding hands. Standing behind the sculptures, slightly out of focus, were two men in dark clothing holding hands, copying the sculpture’s poses and putting on dead, doll-like facial expressions.
We visited the WOAW gallery in Hong Kong, saw this display and couldn’t help ourselves. #theshining #theshiningtwins #art #woawgallery #hongkong #wanchai

I recently discovered this beautiful Lea Salonga and Brad Kane love song. When paired with the ukulele, it becomes even more enchanting. Happy Valentine’s Day!
