Mr George Welch – SOLO!!
Who knows what may materialise?
This, I’m told, by the great man himself, is going to be his last full solo performance at Stanley this month!
Excellent show! Great musicians, wonderful vocalists, especially Oli Peacock – what a voice – and terrific arrangements. I think “The Love Cats” was my favourite but very difficult to choose a “best of” as the whole set was fantastic!

Two boys. Two girls. Four ukuleles. From Elvis to Elgar, ‘Greensleeves’ to Gaga. The freshest act in Edinburgh set the stage alight (in a small way) as they take on a medley of madness – Stereophonics, Debussy, Queen, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, Enya, Electric 6, Scissor Sisters, Kasabian and Dolly Parton to name but a few – in a microtastic hour of dizzying entertainment. Stunning and inventive music from the band that dares to be small. Prepare to get uked!
There is no fixed time to go on stage but it will be sometime after 1:00
George says he is happy to meet up at the Stapylton Arms in Hawthorn at 12:30 and sort out then who is going to play if too many of us turn up.
So, if you fancy taking your chances – bring your uke
