UKELELE: The Sound of the Underground

Yes I am offically cool. People may have chuckled when I took up the ukulele but boy are they going to have to eat their words, because I am part of the underground baby, oh yes. Think the Hacienda '87, Height Ashbury in '67, think living in a squat with Joe Stummer in 1976, that's right sonny, ukuleles are cool; now and happening; what's more, so am I.

Check out the Ukuele Freedom Front and the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.

To quote the UFF:

We're so great and we're the place on the internet where ukulele freaks meet each other and ukuleles as the instrument of unspoke rage and blah, blah, blah. Punk Rock and we are punker than you and all that.

Still can't resist the temptation to shout: "Turned out nice again!", in a cheery Lancashire accent tho. Damn.
