Misspent Uke @ The Globe Video

Many thanks to members of the audience who filmed some of our songs on Sunday when we played Ukes@The Globe!

Misspent Uke @ The Globe, Newcastle upon Tyne

It was an unusual gig! A huge digger down the street had cut through the electricity cables – luckily a couple of band members had brought along battery-powered amps “just in case” – then there were the noisy road diggers right outside the door and torrential rain pounding down! 

Lack of light stopped play after the second set – but it really was a great gig!

A good time was had by all and they have invited us back to play again on 10 Dec!

Stay One More Night – Marie Little!

One of our favourite songs!

Marie Little introduced us to this great song by Martin Francis a while ago and it has been a firm favourite ever since. Dot often starts off our Thursday sessions leading it.

Here is Marie leading us in her version at the “sing around” at our weekend away last November in Wooler, accompanied by The Attic Band and Keith Perry on lead ukulele:

Martin Francis’s original version has more verses than this. Also, over the years that Marie has been covering it, the lyrics have shifted and morphed a bit too. I think that means it is a proper Folk Song!

Many thanks to Marie for permission to upload this video to YouTube so we can use it for practice between sessions.

If there are any errors in the Song Sheet, or in the chords and lyrics in the video subtitles, they are my mistakes not Marie’s!
