So I recently started playing the ukulele. Its an instrument I love but can't take seriously. I am planning to cover songs by Ivor Biggun, George Fornby, and eventually try to write some of my own in the same style.

So far I only have one on YouTube. Id just like you to have a listen and tell me if its worth pursuing this, or if I should give up. As far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be anyone on YouTube covering these kind of songs.

Basically, If more songs were uploaded,would you watch?

If you enjoy it then why not? And you're only going to get better.... er, that's not meant as a dig. I thought it was pretty good, although I couldn't hear a lot of the words. Perhaps a better mic would help?

I subscribe to a YouTube user called Jimmy Wong who makes great music videos where he just plays to camera and they are very watchable and well produced. Check his videos out for production ideas.

Ah, there is a nifty invention. The Nukulele, smaller than most bombs but it could give you a mighty burn.

They're good, but they're not that good.
