God I love this fella. #leica #photography

Five years ago in our 15th anniversary year we agreed to ditch the wedding anniversary present nonsense (stuff we don't need) and get matching tattoos every five years insted. This year is our 20th so had date of our wedding added to our 15th ones.

Another from the #gotaukulele archive - a topic so full of misinformation. Usually 'if your strings are going out tighten your tuners'. And also 'this is a good ukulele as it holds tuning'... Video at the end with me with an impossibly big 'beard'.. #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2017/01/my-u...

Thanks for the support and best wishes Viv - much appreciated! buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/18246518

Yep - that one where I fitted a strap button live on camera to show how simple it is... #gotaukulele #ukulele www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTC_...

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK. First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

Selling this lovely rare one on the 'bay #ukulele #gotaukulele www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20617586...

Yep - it’s ‘those’ songs.. (Well, a couple of them)… #gotaukulele #ukulele youtu.be/rkk9CXQ1AZU?...

Retrospective time. This brand are all over Amazon with tonnes of 5* reviews. Many YT channels rave about them too. I’ve reviewed a couple (and played a couple more). I just really don’t think they shine much at all. #gotaukulele #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2023/04/cara...

Thanks Garry - that’s very kind and thanks for kind wishes. The Yushan is a great uke! #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/17897321

Some randoms from Sevilla

Retrospective time - one of the real joys of doing Got A Ukulele was connecting with skilled local builders who were not on the ‘corporate’ model. Matthieu at Caravelle Kitchen was one of those. A VERY talented builder! #gotaukulele #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2024/10/cara...

Another review retrospective - back to 2015. As resonators go - these are just wonderful! #gotaukulele #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2015/11/belt...

Astonishing show by David Byrne last night - wow

Retrospective beginners tip - does your #ukulele buzz? #gotaukulele www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBnh...

Review from 2013. I adored this uke and in fact played this one on stage for several years. A sound engineers dream, as the clean balanced output is wonderfully natural sounding. Sadly discontinued now I think. #gotaukulele #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2013/08/godi...

Today's retrospective goes back to 2018 and was reminded to me by the kind donation today by Arnold who bought one from this brand Essentially the same as Ohana roundbacks for a very small fraction of the price. #gotaukulele #Ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2018/11/clea...

Thanks Arnold - that is very kind and they are nice words. Appreciated! #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/17577645

Thanks Beverly - that is very kind #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/17562063

Another #gotaukulele beginners tip video from the archive. So simple to do, not sure why people are scared of it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTC_...

Another retrospective. The Enya Nova U Concert had already come along and was incredibly popular (I own one!). There were, however, concerns about the plastic frets. Then along came the tenor to fix that. #gotaukulele #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2021/05/enya...

The #gotaukulele international festival calendar for 2026 is nowhere near as busy as previous years. There must be more events planned. If you are running one, get in touch for a free listing! (email link on the page - don't leave details in comments!) #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/p/ukulele-fe...

Sunday retrospective - and back just a couple of years to an absolute belter from Klōs. #gotaukulele #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2024/08/klos...

Why 'Got A Ukulele' is called #gotaukulele #ukulele www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_Rj...

Another retrospective. On launch they clearly spent a tonne of money at marketing.Turns out they were garbage. Wht was illuminating was the amount of people who then emailed me to tell me of their ukes not being fit for purpose either. #gotaukulele #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2019/02/bohe...

With the retrospectives i've been sharing, i've naturally erred towards the ones I remember favourably. Then, of course, there are brands that have never done that well on ANY review. I love Fender. Not so much their ukes #gotaukulele #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2021/11/fend...

Ha ha - the old #gotaukulele Rants page... Want to cause an argument - share some of these.... (though I stand by them!) #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/p/ukulele-ra...

Thanks Tiffany! There's nothing better that to hear from someone who says the site has helped them. Appreciated! #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/17259084

Another page on #gotaukulele I don't shout about enough - the repository for all my 'How To' videos. Changing strings, cleaning, how to hold the uke, accessories, buzzing strings, strap buttons... all sorts! #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/p/ukulele-be...

Interesting when it's widely accepted that: 1. USA was already inhabited, and; 2. The first European to land there was NOT Columbus by a long stroke 3. USA recognised that and gifted Iceland a statue of Leif Erikson - which is in Reykjavik.

Hope people are enjoying the #gotaukulele retrospectives. This one was from back in 2024. Not long after I think Pete retired from making ukes, but I heard tell he's been making a few more lately. Great ukes! #ukulele #retrospective www.gotaukulele.com/2024/08/bona...

Thanks Crystal - those are very kind words too! #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/17209595

A jump back to 2016 and the first in a long line of high end offerings from aNueNue which have been HUGELY popular. This was a huge step up for a brand that I had always liked, but had a somewhat patchy history. Terrific ukes. #gotaukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2016/11/anue...

That's very kind Sally, thank you! And so glad to hear the videos have helped you! #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/17150608

Another retrospective look back at #gotaukulele reviews. I raved about these when they arrived (and personally bought two which I STILL have!). Pretty simple ukes, but something about them just grabbed me (and still play them). Much copied... #ukulele www.gotaukulele.com/2021/03/anue...

Thanks, that's very kind. Still challenging at home, but we are getting there. #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/17092925

Thank you Ron! #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/17092215

Trump’s pathetic 'Board of Peace' is unveiled to a world of empty chairs, a sad coalition of the irrelevant after every serious nation refused to attend his joke.

Thanks - that’s very kind! And thanks also for underdstanding. That’s much appreciated. Tough at home at times but we are getting there! #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/17003601

Nadhim Zahawi was made Chancellor by Boris Johnson, only to call for a new leader a day later. He backed Liz Truss as PM, before being appointed Tory Chair by Rishi Sunak, only to be sacked over his tax affairs. His defection to Reform UK is another step in an eventful political career.

Thanks - very kind indeed - and glad the content over the year is still helping! #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/16909243

How does she think the lettuce felt?

Thanks! That's very kind of you! #gotaukulele #ukulele buymeacoffee.com/gotaukulele/c/16873395
