Any ukulele banjo playing George Formby fans out there?

I didn't know Ukulele was a Polynesian word until this morning and if pronounced as they do the two u's should have the same sound.

It translates as 'jumping flea'.

Not George Formby:

But can still knock out a tune or three.

It can be a funny life. The only song/Line I know is "When I'm leaning on a lampost at the corner of the street" That's it, nothing else. But I've just read the thread from racing about cyclists stopping for a leak and now have this vision of EBH leaning on a lampost for a wee stop!!!

Blimey. I'm a bit of a stickler for grammar and punctuation myself, but that's not a site I'll be visiting anytime soon.
This is quite a good site, and was the one I used when I had my uke.

A school was recently censored by ofsted inspectors for having a ukulele band as part of their music lessons on the grounds that it wasn't "proper" music. The kids were devastated... back to the recorder then

That seems very shortsighted. Who cares if it's "proper" music or not? (And it is.) Surely the important thing is that the kids enjoy it.

Laughable, really, given that two out of his three posts contain spelling mistakes!

How difficult is a Uke to play? Is there special music, as they have fewer strings than a guitar, don't they?
