The Ukulele Teacher

Hello, it's me...The Ukulele Teacher!

Back in 2011 I started making YouTube videos on my old iPhone 3 as a joke to pass the time. Over a decade later I'm still making videos - but I now have over 1.4 million subscribers, have worked with the likes of Barclaycard and McDonald's, recorded with Mark Ronson at Abbey Road Studios, been invited to the Brit Awards, and wrote a song about tuna sandwiches for Dick n Dom.

Playing the ukulele has taken me around the world - I've taught and performed at festivals in the U.K., Europe and the U.S.A., and met some incredible people along the way.

As well as posting weekly ukulele tutorials on YouTube, I now host a successful podcast, Ukulele Tales, where I have a face-to-face conversation with one of the top players or personalities in the world every single Wednesday. So far I've spoken to the likes of Bernadette Teaches Music, Victoria Vox, Christopher Davis-Shannon and Grammy Award Winning artists Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon's Graceland), and Danny Weinkauf (They Might Be Giants).

An outstanding festival for ukulele players, both beginners and experienced. The ability to interact face-to-face with the amazing guest performers, other uke players, and vendors was invaluable.

Top notch! Fantastic instructors! Very enthusiastic, informative and knowledgeable. Superb presentations. I learned so much this weekend
The Allegheny [Ukulele] Soirée is a ukulele smorgasbord...something for every age, talent level, social class...my friends are there
This festival is well run, feels intimate, and really helped grow my skills and push me to be a better player. I love the teaching artists, and the jams were fun!
