This week I'm speaking to teacher, performer, and all-round ukulele great, Peter Luongo! You may have seen Peter in the 2006 documentary The Mighty Uke, or you may have seen him performing as part of the Legacy Ukulele Ensemble. Or perhaps you know him best as James Hill's ukulele teacher. Either way, the man is an absolute dynamo, and I was privileged to manage to get him to sit still(ish!) for about half an hour at the end of NaMM and have an in-depth conversation about everything from his thoughts on why it's important to teach the ukulele properly, to how he got started playing music, to his relationship with James Hill. Peter is headed to the U.K. next week where he will be attending the Grand Northern Ukulele Festival, and also hosting a day-long retreat for ukulele teachers! Sadly I can't make it, but if you guys can please go and tell him I said hello!

This week I'm speaking to the brains behind the excellent All For Uke website/YouTube channel: Kevin Presbrey. Kevin has been a recording artist - both as part of a band, and solo - since the early 2000s, and his music has appeared in hit TV shows on MTV, VH1 and more. He's also shared a stage with the Doobie Brothers and members of the band Train, as well as writing some terrific songs in the course of his long and illustrious career. In this interview we talk about how a tongue-in-cheek video he posted called "The Prettiest Ukulele Song In The World" led to him becoming a full-time YouTube teacher. We also talk about how fatherhood has changed our perspective on work and music.

She was also one of the first musicians that I met when I was living in the U.S.A. and the one of the first people to collab with me., so it was great to catch up with her when I was back in L.A. last month for NaMM.

Ron Telpner

This is a must-listen episode, as Ron is full of positivity and has an incredible story to tell which I feel honoured to share with you.
