His Super Mario theme cover is fantastic.

Great idea especially if you want to take up window-cleaning as a side line.
The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain are fantastic.

Jake Shimabukuro is awesome, can't mention ukelele without some Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole 'IZ as well.. RIP big man.

Go for it - the uke is easy to play (particularly if you already have a basic grasp of the guitar or bass), and I love it's portability (I often bring mine to work to practice at lunch, and it's easy to take on holiday etc.). Don't buy a cheap one though - it might put you off. If you can stretch to it, get an Antonio Carvallo - they do a basic soprano uke at about £100; handmade in Portugal, all solid wood, has a really lovely tone and is very playable.

Do decent ukeleles come up on eBay very often?

Bargains do come up on eBay, but you'll have to trawl through hundreds of ukes to find them. Generally, it's best to avoid any unnecessary extras to ensure you're getting the best instrument for your money, so if buying on eBay avoid anything that comes with a hard case, or a pick-up, or purely cosmetic things like edge binding and gold plated tuners etc.

Seconded - one of the most enjoyable gigs I've ever been to. They are brilliant.

If you're looking for a Ukelele shop, there's Duke of Uke on Hanbury Street, between Spitalfields and Brick Lane...

Worth a visit for the ukelele connoiseur, I reckon.

If anyone fancies taking up the accordion there is/was a shop in Manchester called Accordion Land. It never seemed to be that busy for some strange reason.

Got a Vintage (make) cheapo which is quite ok but the little perisher is always going out of tune (should have bought a better one perhaps?) Still despite that - good fun
