One of the great delights of ukulele festivals is meeting up with ukulele friends and it was wonderful to see so many at the Ukulele Hooley By The Sea. Tom Allard, an old ukulele friend from Michigan travelled all the way to Dun Laoghaire and was the life and soul of the festival!
He also made this wonderful compilation video of the festival, just enjoy!

Ukulele people are the best!

Its St. Patrick’s Day and it seems appropriate to feature an Irish tune on ukulele but its ironic that it was down to our good friend in the the UK Al Woodshed (creator of the “Ukehunt” website) to actually post a Paddy’s Day number on YouTube.
But thats ok as Al is practically an honorary “Paddy” anyway as he provided one of the main links on a Ukehunt post that led to the setting up of Uke Ireland and the start of the Irish Uke Community.
So here he is playing the “Irish Washerwoman” and the tabs can be found on the Ukehunt website :
Al says
“Quite tricky to play this one. The first section is made up of campanella bits on G and Am (5450) mixed with short runs. For the runs in both sections it’s worth using pinkie, ring and middle for fretting. It’s a stretch in some places much makes it easier to set up for the chords.
My picking in this video is, I’ll admit, a mess. I use my thumb, index and middle and move them between strings. It’d be better to allocate one finger to each string in the campanella parts. Also, I used just my middle finger to pick the runs. It’d make it easier to speed up if you used index, middle, index in a running-man motion.”
