08 Nov 09 And it burns burns burns…

I decided to knock out a quick chord sheet for Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash in honor of Bonfire night last Thursday. We’re going to have a go of it at this Monday’s Hull Ukulele Group.

Ring of Fire – Johnny Cash

Its only 3 chords – G, C, D, and its so familiar that it was almost a pointless exercise doing it! BUT ive tabbed out the Brass parts for ukulele which makes it much more fun if theres more than one of you!!

06 Nov 09 Chord Friday: Just cant get enough – drunken Hull Ukulele Group version

Originally performed by Depeche Mode, and covered by Nouvelle Vague, The Saturdays, and now a few members of the Hull Ukulele Group.

We made the video a while back, but ive only just got round to writing up a decent version of the chordsheet

Just cant get enough – Depeche Mode

As you’ll see, theres nothing complicated about it, and i think it sounds quite nice on the uke

13 May 09 Eight Days a Week by H.U.G

Camera phone footage of the Hull Ukulele Group practicing ‘Eight Days a Week’ at our last meeting.
I might be a bit biased, but I think it sounds ace. Especially since we’d only played it once before at the previous meeting, and up until 3 months ago most of the people in the room had never even picked up a uke before.

I am a very proud man:D

14 Oct 08 Hull Ukulele Facebook Group

Oh noes, ive set up a Hull Ukulele Facebook group!!

There are currently 2 memebers of the group. Me and Matthew – but hes my mate, not a ‘real’ person, so im not sure that counts!

It shall be a battle of old school advertising (ie, flyers & posters) verses New School/Social Networking. Which method will prove most successful?
