Been thinking about getting one for a while. Particularly inspired by youtube clips of the ukulele orchestra of GB. I have hitherto shown absolutely no musical ability. I believe that they're one of the easiest instruments to learn (apart from the triangle, remember that classic BA ad?) and I can pick one up online for as little as £9.99 from [url= http://www.imusician.co.uk/acatalog/redwood_ukulele_uk1.html?gclid=CMHHnfj2pqICFRM_lAodDmRSSQ ]HERE[/url]. It would make an ideal father's day present from my girls.

So any experts out there who can tell me what to look for in a decent beginner's uke? 10 quid seems to good to be true. Our 'standard' ones soprano or tenor? Help me please.

Tom Hodgkinson, of The Idler, considers the ukulele to be the quintessential punk rock instrument.

I don't have one mind, my un-played but potentially cool instrument is a banjo. 🙂

A ukelele-playing troupe are visiting us this summer. They also ride bikes while wearing tweed.

My folk-singer friend (former race doctor for the Milk Race, trivia fans) is very excited because he wants them to play his song "Edie and Vi", which is inspired by Spam email.

1. What's the song about?
2. From where can I get a cheap (free) tweed jacket?
3. What's the song about?
