“The Uke Of Wallington”

Mark Wallington

Writer Mark Wallington took up playing the ukulele a couple of years ago and came up with the idea that he should do a tour of open mic venues throughout GB. This is his account and its also the BBC’s “book of the week” . Here he reads the first episode – its 15 minutes long. There will be four more episodes during the week : http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01hf0b0
