With my little ukulele in my hand...

I play a number of instruments including banjo, concertina, harmonica, and guitar, but  I mostly play my Gretsch concert sized uke for my shows. My Laughtertianer style of playing is a mixture of strumming and picking, peppered with George Formby-esque rhythmic  triple-stops.  I perform my own compositions as well as old-timey and contemporary numbers.  

Ukulele has become quite a popular instrument! I've lead uke building workshops (using kits) for students in the Greater Essex Schools, and I even made my own sweet cigar box uke.  I also give uke lessons in my home, and post the odd tune on youtube. Here are a few below!
