We've entered Bushman's World Ukulele Video Contest: http://ukuleleluau.com/uke-contest.html to try and win some new ukes because (as no doubt most of you would agree) early 90s top 40 mash-ups should be played on quality ukuleles!

Personal apologies to Kevin, Laurie, Paul, Ging and all those of you out there who care about sound. My best laid plans to record a clean leveled track went awry when the batteries on my (otherwise kick-ass, thanks kev!) sound recorder died somewhere around attempt 7...I did think to put a back up mic to the camera (which is the sm58 tied to the broken lamp base with a piece of green cord...pointing directly upward, sigh, with the levels on the camera set to Corrie singing the the pretty-y-y-y bit of 'Laid' which I wrongly thought would be the loudest point, sigh... sigh.)

As my head hangs in shame, my editor's better judgment is undermined and I include the documentary bookends as evidence of my quest for decent sound. Alas, I have failed you my dear sound enthusiasts, all I can offer in compensation is my most sincere declaration of need for you in my life. x,k

7:26 Nothing classier than a female drinking out of a wine bottle...Nothing!

[londonemski]

Fab. Love from a fellow SE London (Camberwell) ukelelista!

[clareshobs]

I am gutted that you didn't win. Personally I believe this beats Julia schmulia jaaaaaaaa nunes and her in tune, perfect, actually quite good song. However, I expect the judges decided that you would just fall out if you had to share a Bushman uke.

Stunning vid. Loved the outtakes at the end. believe you deserve credit for filming outside in SE London-& the camera wasn't nicked. Bonus!

[benmealer]

ha! amazing, all the hits are there... and the singing and the weaving voices over each other and the playing... good stuff, girls.

[thesmokinukulele]

[anniekate76]

[RabbleRowsette]

Kate, girl you look like Maggie Gyllenhaal. People say that I do too!

Whatever effect you did on the Meatloaf video was spot on.

You guys are awesome!
