    My first ukulele gig

    Well now I've done it. I put my name into the hat for an open mic evening at a ukulele cabaret next month. The pub is small and the punters don't have to pay to get in so it's a perfect spot for my debut, unhindered as I am by rhythm or talent.

    If I'm accepted I expect it to be an unforgettable evening.

    I'd better get practicing...

    Get someone to video it and post it on youtube.

    Go on, you know you want to.


    Best of luck BTW.

                    I was thinking of wearing my pirate hat (following Blaster Bate's advice...)
