I’d never realised there was an acoustic version of Take On Me until I heard it in The Last of Us Season 2 — and wow, that scene was beautiful.

Afterward, I found a-ha’s original acoustic performance and was blown away

Here’s my take on it

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

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.

Pride Month may be ending, but it’s always a beginning. Live on, love you my friends. Cheers! 🏳️‍🌈🌺
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?

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.

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.
