It was a busy day yesterday as the ukulele group I play with recorded a song for a competition. It’s for the Ukulele Society of Great Britain’s competition to find Britain’s best ukulele band. About thirty bands have entered the competition and each band has to record and submit a video of a performance. A team of judges will view the performances and decide on a winner who will have the honour of being declared the best ukulele band in Great Britain.
Here’s a photo of All About Uke from Stafford & Stoke-on-Trent getting ready to perform their song. I’m seated on the extreme left of the photo playing the bass ukulele. It was a busy afternoon because as well as playing the bass, I also brought along my camera to video the song. A fellow ukulele player, Nick, brought his sound recording equipment which recorded the audio in a better quality than that on my camera. I’ve sent him my video file and he’ll add the audio track. Looking forward to viewing and hearing the final result and wondering how we’ll do in the competition when the winner will be announced in the autumn.
