Subject: RE: 1008 ukuleles at the Albert Hall
It was just a blast!!!
Good to hear that a DVD will be forthcoming.
An absolute breath of fresh air, and hats off to Roger Wright (Boss of R3) to have booked them..In the same way that he booked the Folk Prom last year.
Listening to it, I'm sure that in spite of the knockabout stuff, Wuthering Heights, Silver Machine etc, The Ukes took the gig very seriously, (Hon Mench to the Valkyries. Hadn't heard that before).
And to get 1000 people to play at a Prom. Just sheer genius.
So, to all the people knocking this Prom. Get a Life.
Music is about fun and participation. The more people who get involved, the better.
As for WAV...Words fail me...I play both the "English" (sic) Cittern,(well it was made in Northumberland anyway!) and the Ukelele..Which should I give up??? Pray tell me.
Just wish I could have got a ticket...
