Not a Job Elbow Ukulele Cover

Mar 23 2012 Published by under Kitchen Ukulele Sessions, Music, My Creations

I love the band Elbow. Alot. Alot of my ukulele time is spent playing Elbow tunes, so it’s no surprise that I may rack up a few of their tunes in my kitchen ukulele sessions. The first ukulele video I put up was an Elbow one, see my ukulele cover of lippy kids

This is Not a Job, from the album Cast of Thousands. I always say it’s my least favourite album, but some of my favourite songs are on it. This is one of them.

I have also uploaded a ukulele cover of switching off by elbow

Bloodless, Tom McRae Ukulele Cover

Mar 23 2012 Published by under Kitchen Ukulele Sessions, Music, My Creations

Another kitchen recording on the ukulele. This time it’s Bloodless by Tom McRae. It’s from his eponymous debut album. Only recently started playing it on the uke, hopefully you’ll excuse the coughing!

Why not check out my cover of he doesn’t know why by Fleet Foxes or Bon Iver’s Flume

Flume, Bon Iver, Ukulele Cover

Mar 20 2012 Published by under Kitchen Ukulele Sessions, Music, My Creations

Bon Iver have become one of the most important bands in my musical life. I was lucky enough to see them live in October and without sounding too pretentious they raised the bar on live music in my world.

Since I picked up my ukulele I have been playing flume alot, it’s simple and alot of fun to sing. The acoustics in my new kitchen really help too.

In the spirit of just getting on with it and generating some content. I have been recording a few quick takes of some songs the last couple of days, my ‘kitchen ukulele sessions‘ if you will. The quality isn’t the best out there and the performances are a bit ragged, but I don’t see that it much matters.

There are more floating around on my youtube channel, which I will share with you, but for now, I thought I’d start you off with this.

Ukulele cover of Lippy Kids by Elbow

Oct 02 2011 Published by under Kitchen Ukulele Sessions, Music, My Creations

So, after a few days of playing around with the webcam, I thought I’d post a quick version of one of the songs I have been playing on my trusty uke.

I am a massive elbow fan, so I rather nervously share this ukulele cover of Lippy Kids by Elbow
