yes it's true, I have the dedication that Roy Castle said you needed and I wanna be a record breaker. I and my fella are taking part in the world record attempt for the mass playing of the ukulele which is happening as part of the London Uke Festival on 20th June. If we get 500 people we'll have broke the record. The aim of the event is to raise £25,000 for Cancer Research so I thought I'd appeal to you lovely people for a bit of support. I've set up a justgiving page at www.justgiving.com/jamjarmc if anyone is willing and able to give a finacial donation or if anyone is is London on that day please come along and give us your support - or bring your uke if you have one! You can register to take part @ londonukefestival.com/Thanks in advance, Glam x |

You should contact Tom Milsom - who operates under the pseudonym hexachordal on Youtube - if you haven't already. He's quite the purveyor of uke videos and was even on the One Show talking about them. He'd definitely draw a lot of attention to it for you.
Good luck!
