Recorded at Don Quixote’s International Music Hall in Felton, California in 2011, musician James Hill demonstrates a ukulele modified with hockey tape, chopsticks, a comb and a rubber thimble from which he coaxes the most unlikely techno and hip hop beats.
After some charming preamble the music starts around 3.40.
Think tonight was the gig of the year, 3000 rocking in the @FeileBelfast tent to the Tones, super experience, thx for the night!

It’s all about continuity.
Kelly-Anne Byrne launches her very own brand new club night in the Grand Social this Saturday night at 11pm.
Interviewed by Louise Noone back in 2010 as part of the Girls On Wax documentary, Kelly-Anne said:
“I did up a tape, was actually a cassette would you believe and I left it into a few places. The Dice Bar rang me up and gave me a gig, that’s how it started.”
Admission: FREE.
Blessed DJ.
Not so much a comment on the last week’s events, more a personal response to messages I’ve received. TrollSong: https://t.co/6tqyfYiktX
