The Ukulele Podcast

Merry Christmas!

I got to catch up with my oldest and tallest friend in the ukulele world, Peter Brooke-Turner of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain recently, and we put the world to rights having a good old natter about:

The weather
Near-death experiences
Life - what does it all mean?!
Singing Ave Maria with Poppy in the garden
Touring the States
Where are the next generation of stars coming from?
Ghost tours!
Becoming comfortable on stage
AI Generated music
Airline Toilets Theatre Company
Sending hundreds of postcards
What ukulele he's playing at the moment
The most expensive ukulele he's ever played
Lending his ukulele to Tiny Tim!

And quite a lot more besides.

Plus, you may have noticed that I've not been around much lately and there's a very good reason for that! So stick around to the end for a bit of an announcement about the future of the podcast.

Have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful 2026.
