I Must Be In Love

John, a fellow ukulele player, with impeccable musical taste, asked me to do anything at all by The Rutles. I jumped at the chance. If you are not familiar with The Rutles, I urge you to look them up. This is one of the pre-fab four's finest.

I Hardly Ever Sing Beer Drinking Songs

I can confirm that I have a weakness for a good country song, and a few may well turn up along the way. They get bonus points if Johnny Cash did them. Here's one which sort of goes against the grain of a lot of those songs - he's happy, nobody is cheating, nobody leaves, and the dog and the horse don't even get a mention.

Waltzing Matilda

This was a request from my friend Brian in Australia. And no Brian, I didn't watch the cricket...

Cum On Feel The Noize

Slade, first thing on a Sunday morning? OK, in case people are trying to have a lie-in, I'll slow it down a bit.

Half A Boy And Half A Man

The Christmas decorations are down (boo, hiss) so I have found something quick and jolly by Nick Lowe to cheer myself up, and maybe you too.

To celebrate, I will sing as many words as I can in two minutes and fifteen seconds...

Human

3 o'clock on a very gloomy York afternoon. What to do about the lighting? How about using a SolarAid lamp? Works a treat. And you generous people have already donated enough to pay for over 90 of them to go out to where they are really needed. Thank you!

Bring Me Sunshine

A special request from Jeremy Leggett, and who am I to refuse?

Only You

Very early in the morning - possibly too early to be singing - so something gentle by Vince Clarke & Yazoo.
