The Russet is a wonderful new restaurant/cafe/venue on the edge of Hackney Downs run by the brilliant Steve Wilson, the man behind the People’s Kitchen at Passing Cloud.
I will be singing a few songs at the launch party sometime in February. As you can see from the photo below, it is a lovely space.

Ukulele lessons can be so much fun… worth noting that John was convinced he was never going to be able to play when he had his first lesson nearly a year ago now.
It is so distressing how many people have that silly ‘i can’t play music’ voice stuck permanently in their heads and so much fun helping them to overpower it.
I did a gig last weekend at the Hideaway in Archway for a lovely lady called Shireen who runs the ‘Mighty Ukuele’ website.
There were some awesome performances by other ukulelists and I got to try out a few new tunes, one of which was captured and posted on youtube here – http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BJHUK7-yoqY.
